ANDERSEN 28ST E1 Electric FS Winch - 12V

The ANDERSEN 28ST E1 Electric FS Winch - 12V is a full stainless steel marine winch engineered for crews who demand reliability and ease of operation on the water. This compact electric winch eliminates the physical demands of manual line and sail control, allowing any crew member—regardless of strength or experience—to safely manage sails and rigging with a single push-button command. Whether you're racing competitively, cruising coastal waters, or managing a working vessel, the E1 combines proven marine-grade construction with modern electric convenience.

Rated at 12V DC operation, the ANDERSEN 28ST E1 integrates seamlessly with standard marine electrical systems and generates consistent, controllable pulling power for trimming and hoisting applications. The full stainless steel construction resists corrosion in saltwater environments and delivers extended service life with minimal maintenance. At just 8.9 lbs and measuring 6 x 5 x 7 inches, this winch offers a compact footprint that fits tight cockpit and deck installations without sacrificing power or durability. The electric motor delivers smooth, silent operation compared to manual alternatives, reducing crew fatigue during long days underway and improving overall safety by freeing both hands for other essential tasks.

Cruising sailors, racing crews, and commercial operators benefit most from the E1's user-friendly design and dependable stainless steel build. The 12V power draw makes it compatible with both battery-powered systems and charging circuits found on most modern sailboats and light marine vessels. Installation requires secure deck or mast-mounted attachment points; verify your vessel's rigging configuration and power budget before ordering. The ANDERSEN 28ST E1 transforms sail handling into a controlled, repeatable operation that extends your effective cruising range and makes heavy-air sailing accessible to smaller crews.
