great marketing, answering questions straight up. Well done.
Thank You!
Great to see a fantastic Aussie made product, quality vs cheap imported products.
Thanks man!
Best anchoring system on the market. Easy install. Very happy with mine. Very happy with the help I got from the distributor Hammer Marine out of Texas.
Brad thank you very much!
Great info, I just watched the torture test and was going to get a Savwinch but now will be getting a Lonestar gx2.
Nice
BEST THING EVER..... wish I brought it years ago
Thank you!
Can you do a video on how to turn the motor glans please
Paolo that is an excellent suggestion, we certianly will do one for that in our next segment run.
Cool ,nice shirt
I read many users prefer to use electric trolling motors with spot lock over drum anchor winches.
What are the advantages of the Lonestar anchor winch over the electric trolling motor with spot lock for anchoring?
Good question.
Obviously electric motors are battery and weather dependent. I have one as well, very handy for covering ground when lure fishing. Using one as an anchor in calm conditions is fine, however in any sort of wind or swell an anchor & winch are the better option. Also with an anchor winch you are not drawing any power while at anchor.
@@LoneStarMarineWinch Thank you. Why are TM's the less option in wind and swell - even with an extra long leg? What length of rope and anchor is comfortably required when fishing at depths of 40m (with a LSM GX3 unit)?
@@Camh1968 wind/tide/swell will all have your TM working hard which will reduce overall run time. If you are only dropping in on spots for a short time you may be fine. If you are fishing a tide you may not. The GX3 has several rope & chain options from 100m to 300m drum capacity.
Ive just ordered a GX1 for my boat after recomendations from other boat owners. I have a technical question i'm hoping you can answer. With a worm and wheel type gearbox a thrust load is generated onto the worm gear shaft. I'm wanting to know which end of the shaft has the better thust protection? I can then load the spool the right direction to maximise gearbox life. Thanks in advance, Simon
Hi Simon, the difference is minimal, they can be loaded form either direction. More important is the fleet angle, you want that as wide as possible. In other words, avoid 90% bends in the direction of the rode coming onto the drum. This usually means loading the rope and chain over the top.
