Excellent IOM winch Review by Narrowseas

Bought as a quick replacement for my dead Whirlwind winch. Has more torque at 14.5 Kg/cm and has performed faultlessly in all winds now. Have bought second one for other boat . IOM requires a max of 10 Kg/cm to cater for extreme conditions so the drum drive diameter of only 25mm is a bit small. If it could be fitted with a 32mm it would be even quicker. Well worth doing.
No need to programme the winch, much easier to set up on transmitter for number of turns etc.
Excellent service from Component shop (Posted on 27/01/2018)

Installed in a IOM, no programming info so set the endpoints on my dx6e. Worked perfectly in moderate & strong winds, great value for money. I will now buy a spare just in case! (Posted on 01/12/2017)

Finally finished (09/2016) my IOM with this servo, still not been able to programme 1-6 turns as manufacturers claims, BUT have used my Spectrum DX6E very successfully to set end limits.
The servo for the price does seem strong and not much slower than those which are 6 times more expensive - I am hopeful but only use and time will tell, and for the price I am considering the purchase of a second as a spare, crazy not too!! (Posted on 14/09/2016)

Great but !!! Review by cratitan

First impressions, nicely made @ at great price
Second thoughts, on my servo tester its fast, quiet and responsive, looks very promising for my IOM.
Final thought, no programming data provided and an enquiry direct to Kingmax hit a brick wall but I will persevere.
Shall just have to use the facilities on my transmitter to trim, although I would have preferred to program it properly
Component shop service is still brilliant as usual. (Posted on 01/03/2016)

Good winch for IOM Review by GBR238

Tested in a IOM for a total of 8 hours sailing to date. Number 1 rig from 5 mph to 12+ even to the point of being over powered.
The winch has been faultless.
A very good replacement for my old whirlwind winch.
The spec has an error stall current at 6 volts is 2.2 amperes not 22.
The drum could fit a bit better but is OK in use.
A 800ma 5 cell NiMH battery lasts about 1.5 hours sailing

A drop in replacement for the now unavailable Eurgle metal gear winch. Not quite a perfect drum fit- but OK
have sailed in light winds and very strong winds- well past the limit for the No.1 sails I had fitted but the winch worked impeccably. (Posted on 03/04/2015)
