Modular Power Systems

Evolution through Development

The Modular Power System© is engineered with a focus on flexibility and simplicity. The flexibility makes it possible to choose and implement a motor-powered unit at a convenient time, since all ANDERSEN Self-Tailing Winches© (28ST and above) are factory prepared for future change. Simplicity means very easy installation of your chosen powered unit. *Please note that the 28ST and 40ST models are also available in the COMPACT and 2+1 SE versions. For further information please contact your local ANDERSEN Distributor regarding the MPS for the COMPACT Above Deck© version.

The modular design of this system also shows in the fact that a single-speed electric powered unit can be replaced with a 2-speed electric or hydraulic unit — simply by removing the center nut and mounting a new unit. No new holes are required.

Installing an ANDERSEN Modular Power System below deck is easy. Simply remove the bolts holding the existing winch, drill a small hole for the shaft, and bolt the connecting plate onto the deck using the mounting holes from the existing winch. The winch itself is then bolted onto the connecting plate.

This makes service a simple matter of loosening the bolts on the connecting plate and removing the powered unit by loosening the center nut on the conversion unit. The connecting plate always remains fitted on the deck. The same principle applies if the winch needs servicing: simply loosen the bolts and remove the winch.

The new COMPACT Motor© in above deck version is mounted directly on the deck, and the winch is mounted directly onto the motor – without the need for a mounting plate. Subsequent dismantling is just as easy.
