Pontos Grinder 4-Speed Self-Tailing Winch - Size 40

The fast path to performance! Tacking will never be the same. The Grinder patented four-speed winch allows you to let off the old sheet during a tack and sheet in the new sheet quicker than two could perform the operation with a standard two-speed winch. The Grinder is that revolutionary--it changes how you tack: preload the new winch and crank. It's that simple and quick. The first revolution of the winch brings in over two feet of line--an astonishing feat. Reverse the direction for more power. Repeat twice, gaining more power each time.
