In the initial stages of trimming or hoisting sails, the high-speed first gear reduces the time and effort required to adjust sails efficiently. After quick initial line recovery at low load, the winch can be shifted to the slower second and third gears as load increases, using theirgreater mechanical advantage for precise control of heavy loads.  The added versatility provided by the extra gear results in improved performance and safety on the water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo engage the first gear with a fast 1.4:1 gear ratio, push the button on top of the winch and turn the winch handle clockwise. When the load becomes too heavy, turn the handle anti-clockwise to switch to the second gear. The winch will now operate as a two-speed winch, shifting between second and third gear with changes in handle direction. To return to the first gear for extra speed, simply push the button again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-spec additional-attributes-wrapper table-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"data table additional-attributes\" id=\"product-attribute-specs-table\"\u003e\n\u003ccaption class=\"table-caption\"\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/caption\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" data-th=\"weight_kg\" scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight (kg)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-td=\"weight_kg\"\u003e5.9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" data-th=\"performance_level\" scope=\"row\"\u003ePerformance Level\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-td=\"performance_level\"\u003ePerformance Racing, Offshore Racing\/Bluewater Cruising, Club Racing\/General Cruising\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" data-th=\"gear_ratio_1st_speed\" scope=\"row\"\u003eGear ratio 1st speed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-td=\"gear_ratio_1st_speed\"\u003e1.4 : 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" data-th=\"gear_ratio_2nd_speed\" scope=\"row\"\u003eGear ratio 2nd speed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-td=\"gear_ratio_2nd_speed\"\u003e3.0 : 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" data-th=\"gear_ratio_3rd_speed\" scope=\"row\"\u003eGear ratio 3rd speed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-td=\"gear_ratio_3rd_speed\"\u003e10.0 : 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" data-th=\"power_ratio_1st_speed\" scope=\"row\"\u003ePower ratio 1st speed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-td=\"power_ratio_1st_speed\"\u003e6.3 : 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" data-th=\"power_ratio_2nd_speed\" scope=\"row\"\u003ePower ratio 2nd speed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-td=\"power_ratio_2nd_speed\"\u003e13.4 : 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" data-th=\"power_ratio_3rd_speed\" scope=\"row\"\u003ePower ratio 3rd speed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-td=\"power_ratio_3rd_speed\"\u003e45.5 : 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" data-th=\"line_size_mm\" scope=\"row\"\u003eLine Size (mm)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-td=\"line_size_mm\"\u003e8-14\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" data-th=\"max_pull_kg\" scope=\"row\"\u003eMax Pull (kg)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" data-td=\"max_pull_kg\"\u003e1200\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ronstan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56432942350502,"sku":"RA6453","price":3775.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/7935\/7862\/files\/orbit-winch-45-and-50qt-3-speed-side-view.webp?v=1777599228","url":"https:\/\/www.dyscmarine.com.au\/products\/ronstan-45qt-orbit-winch-3-speed-quicktrim","provider":"DYSC Marine Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
