Dumb Winch to D Conversion

RMG winches produced between December 1988 and January 1993 (affectionately known as Dumb Winches) can be converted to a SmartWinch by replacing the electronics. This includes replacement of the black box and its contents, feedback potentiometer and leads. A SmartWinch Users Guide is also included.

Please note that the model of our winch previous to the "DumbWinch" (mechanical) can not be converted to a SmartWinch.

Due to the cost involved, it would be better to consider a new winch. 

A model to D  Conversion

The A models, SW280 and SW380 can be converted to 280D and 380D respectively. This requires replacement of the entire electronics and leads as well as certain mechanical components.

C model to D Conversion

The c models, SW280c and SW380c can be converted to 280D and 380D respectively. This requires replacement of the electronics, potentiometer and leads. 

Hex Drive Conversion

SmartWinches and "Dumb Winches" with round output shaft can be converted to the hexagonal drum attachment. This involves the replacement of the front end of the winch including front plate, bearing, final drive gear, shaft and drum. The large compound gear, chassis spacers and top shaft are modified. Unless specified otherwise the new hex drive drum will be the 26mm (~1") size.

General Repairs

With a small amount of care and maintenance a SmartWinch will give reliable service for many years. But should the need arise we offer a prompt repair service to get our customers back on the water as quickly as possible. Repairs are usually done within 24 hours.

Repairs can also be done in Europe by Markus Greinwald. Visit his heb site at  www.iom-segeln.de

Please note that we only do repairs to our own winches. We do not repair other winches or radios etc.
