Greetings all of you most venerable skippers! I am seeking some advice and opinions on the various winches. I have a Treasure Tooling hull (registered EC-454) and I need to come up with another sailwinch system. I used to have a system from Sail Engineering (Richmond VA) wired to work with the old Kraft 2 channel radio set but Vince Serio, the gentleman who designed and built it never sent it back after I sent it to him for repair about 4-5 years ago. I honestly don't know whether the old fellow is still with us or gone to Glory.
As a result, about 2 years ago I purchased a M.A.C.K. Products jackscrew unit which seems to have the power but the speed of transit leaves a bit to be desired. Somewhere I read an artical about the use of dual Hitec HS-815 servos. Unfortunately I do not remember where I read it and thus cannot find it again. I don't believe it had any setup instructions, but I sure would appreciate any help / photos of said hookups if anyone has some.
Finally, I would appreciate any information/suggestions about hooking up a jib twitcher (separate servo). Thank you all in advance. Feel free to e-mail me direct with setup/hookup pictures.
