That's true, is have no idea what the flow and pressure is but I currently run a hydraulic anchor windlass and a hydraulic Pullmaster winch to raise and launch the dinghy. I only use one system at a time and the system seems capable, doesn't get too hot and works fast and slow. I have an unused hydraulic loop that is perfectly (well, with some longer hoses) placed to run a capstan. I just have to figure out the plumbing and the direction of the flow.

This project will distract me from the Great Water Tank Clean-out Project and will be less knee-work.
