Ak-guy,
I'm convinced the new Endurance capstan is superior to either the old Endurance or the Power Winch. The Power Winch drives a gear about 6" in dia with a very small gear. Too small IMO. The PW boat capstan is a modified version of their trailer boat winch. That's how I know about the gears. I took it apart and couldn't believe the small gear. Probably 1/2" or 9/16" dia. The Endurance has planetary gears.
I got my Endurance from the factory in Surrey BC. Just an hours drive from here. If your PW fails I could probably get you an Endurance.
No sales pitch here I just think the Endurance is much better.
Here's my old Endurance. I'll send it to you to play with if you like.
It's problem is electrical. It's very noisy.
