Muir’s new 48v high-quality Vertical Storm and Horizontal winches offer owners significant savings in weight, space and cost.
Muir’s new top-of-the-line 48v winches are sure to be welcomed by the increasing number of boat owners that are now choosing full electric 48vDC power systems.
These 48vDC power systems are better at handling higher power loads such as those required to run complete-ship air conditioning and heating systems, powerful bow and stern thrusters and the like. They also eliminate the need for costly, space-hungry and noisy 230v generators.
A Muir 48v winch requires significantly less current to deliver the same amount of power as a 12v winch. This not only results in reduced heat generation, lower resistance losses and improved overall efficiency, it also means significantly thinner, lighter and more flexible cables can be used. This reduces weight, saves space and lowers material costs.
Pairing the Muir winch and the vessel’s 48vDC power system with lithium-ion batteries offers even more weight savings and, while this is an attraction in any style of boat, it is particularly beneficial in multihulls, where there are huge advantages in keeping things as light as possible.
Muir’s new 48v high quality Vertical Storm and Horizontal winches, and advice on the advantages of full electric 48vDC power systems, are now available through Lusty and Blundell’s nationwide network of leading marine dealers.
