Tested on the winch dedicated to the full battent mainsail. Excellent impression, also ideal for navigation without the help crew. Fast delivery, with good packaging.

I bought the "ACCU winch crank" mainly for the better mountains from the large in the roll tree of my 39 Fussseglers bought .... the result was impressive already at the first try ..... one-handed Bergen and with the other hand evenly. ... a solid electric winch did not fit. I wish now however a load announcement so that I can take advantage of the reserve for the mountains of the Gross.

I did my \ "test \", it is true that this crank is heavy but when it is in place, it is easier.However it does not release a hand due to the force It is imperative to have both hands on it. At the time I have buddies who thought it made tired sailor will now adopt it for punctual use like me.

Does what it's supposed to, I would buy it again
I had ordered a much more expensive competitor's device for single-handed hoisting of the mainsail. However, it wouldn't fit under my very flat sprayhood on the winch. So, despite all its drawbacks, I got this product and am satisfied with its performance so far. Although the manual states that you should never use the device to pull up the mast, my wife and I did just that (why not, when you carry a second halyard as a safety rope). The device pulled me (80 kg) up the mast without a hitch.

How long the device and the battery will last, of course, I won't be able to say for sure until after a few seasons.

No battery capacity indicator, battery is not replaceable.

A real relief
Of course, the button built into the boat to activate a built-in electric winch is much more convenient, because with the WinchRite, you have to exert considerable force to counteract the torque generated. But the device also offers so much power and endurance that the mainsail is raised quickly without any effort on your part – fantastic. It's easy to use, and the device can be stowed away quickly.

I'm deducting a small 5 stars because we're all spoiled by our modern battery-powered devices. I miss a charge level indicator, which I consider state-of-the-art these days. Without the indicator, I have no idea how often I should recharge the device, and I can't try to only charge it to about 80% to conserve battery life. It's a shame.

Appears to be of good quality. Compliant delivery but not very fast. Awaiting use for the 2021 season.

Helpful Product
For those who don't have on board until they are electric. Easy to use, to straighten sails, useful for mooring as a mooring. Very interesting for mainsheet, I have self-expressing jib,

SVB has made improvements
SVB has improved the product for free because of my bad rating. The battery was out of order and the device shut down prematurely. I can test the device again next season. However, I found the SVB service so good that I want to promote my rating. Many thanks to SVB !!!

Hand crank not bad at all but can only be used with both hands and is not equipped with a load limiter. So a little dangerous

warranty case
Could use the device only 3 times, then it was a guarantee case, because in the production was so much messed up that the service of SVB re-solder the board and had to solder the dropped cable at the switch again. But was promptly done. Conclusion Actually good device, but you should do a stress test during the warranty period to cover vulnerabilities. And a charge indicator would be useful
