Ronstan 40QT 2-Speed QuickTrim Orbit Winch, E1 12V

The Ronstan 40QT Orbit Winch is a high-performance, 2-speed electric winch designed for effortless sail handling. Featuring QuickTrim™ technology, it enables precise manual trimming without engaging the motor for better control.

Powered by a 12V E1 electric drive, it offers smooth operation, reducing crew workload and enhancing performance. Its lightweight, durable design suits both performance sailors and cruisers.

At the heart of the E1 winch is a high quality European engineered and manufactured series wound motor. Carefully matched with the optimal gearbox they deliver high speed at low load for fast sheeting in, and low speed at high load for safe, fine tuning when trimming. They are available in 12 Volt and 24 Volt models providing smooth and quiet operation across a wide working load range.

With internal contactors and no separate control box, installation is simple—just connect power cables and the included push button. The high-quality European motor delivers fast sheeting at low load and fine-tuned trimming at high load, ensuring smooth, quiet operation.

The included push button has an LED indicator, a safety cover, and an IP67 water resistance rating, also providing status codes for troubleshooting.

Ideal for sailors seeking precision, ease of use, and power-assisted trimming, the Ronstan 40QT Orbit Winch redefines modern winch technology.

Features: 

• Unrivalled level of monitoring and protection
• Integrated Overload Protection - The controller is pre-set to stop the winch if the Maximum Pull Load is exceeded. Operation can resume within a few seconds when the load returns below the limit
• Thermal Overload Protection – The motor is fitted with a thermal cutout that disables the motor in case of overheating; it automatically resets after the temperature returns to normal.
• Reverse Polarity Protection – An integrated 5 Amp fuse protects the motor against incorrect cable connection.
• Accidental Start Protection – Winch operation is disabled if the push button is already inadvertently pressed when the power supply is turned on at the circuit breaker or battery.
• Low Voltage Detection - Operation is disabled if the battery charge level is low, which prevents further drain on batteries and avoids triggering low-voltage reset of navigation instruments and other electronic devices.
• Continuous Run Time Limit– Operation is disabled if continuous run time exceeds 10 minutes.
• Manual operation
• 2-speed manual operation is always available as a backup; to winch beyond the pre-set maximum pull load (but below the winch Max Working Load) or just for the experience.
