Hi Dave...The new Pontos winches are new for thus season......They are 4 speed
and shift gears sort of automatically. You don't have to switch or flip
buttons.
They are fast and the video in the ads is very accurate. They say you could
use only 1 trimmer since he could release and get to the incoming sheet faster
than the usual system.....I'm lucky enough to have 2 guys that handle our 155
nicely.....So far, I /they really like them. I don't have any service
experience yet..I bought them from Defender on sale.About $4300 for
both.....they fit right where my BarientSTs were....I'm currently operating
with only 4 winches. 2 Pontos 46 Grinders and 2 BarientSTs on the coach roof
for halyards.....I cleaned off the deck and retired all the other
winches....Hope this helpsRon

Ron,
"primaries replaced with Pontos 46 Grinders......what a difference…..”
Tell me more about those Points winches if you would. I’ve just completed
servicing all my winches prior to re-installing them and have been thinking
about some replacements. My Barient 28’s, self-tailing and non, are getting to
be a hand-full for us older folks.
Press looks good but just may be marketing. Have you had them long? Any service
problems? Too good to be true? ;-)
Best,
Dave Godwin
