It's a one-man operation

The Seahorse Electric Winch is built tough to do the hard work in a harsh beach environment. This Winch makes launching and retrieval of your Seahorse Kontiki a simple one person job, no matter what the conditions are like or how many fish you have on the line. It's designed to use the pull of the line to 'force' the winch down into the sand, so it won't move, except under extreme loads. Plus, it's simple to operate and easy to clean. It also features a three-speed control unit and pulse function that gives you full control, allowing you to fish when you want.

Drag Rubber
The simple and effective drag rubber controls the speed of the drum on launching to stop overruns. The drag rubber adds constant drag to the winch drum during the launching process, thus stopping the line jumping and causing overruns. Once the traces are attached the drag rubber is removed off the drum, in turn removing the drag and allowing for maximum distance. Additional drag can be manually applied if required.

The Line
The line used on the Seahorse Winch is 300lb or 140kg, breaking strain, commercial-grade monofilament fishing line. This line size is selected because it is easy to handle, yet strong enough to withstand a high level of abuse. The line consists of a 3m shock cord, followed by 150m of leader line. This is used by the fisher to guide the Seahorse through the surfline. The following 250m of stoppered line has 120 resin-coated stoppers where the weights and 25 traces are attached. The stoppered line is then followed by 1600m of mainline to allow set-up of the Seahorse up to 2 km's offshore. This gives you plenty of time to get your traces attached to the main line.

• Waterproof 'tinned' marine grade wiring and external switches
  
• Fully protected winch control unit
  
• Sealed ON/OFF/PULSE switch giving you complete control
  
• The unit has three speeds so you can select the correct speed for whatever the situation
  Slow speed - Ideal for trolling the baits back to the beach. This technique can be used successfully with soft baits or lures
  Medium speed - Has an overload thermal auto cut-out to protect the motor. This speed is great when you are pulling in a massive load of fish
  High speed - Uses all the power of the 150 watt motor to retrieve the line in the fastest possible time, so you spend less time waiting and more time fishing
  
• The speeds are electronically controlled to ensure no battery power is wasted
