During frequent use or when pulling a heavy chain, the winch can overheat. This is especially risky during hot weather or when anchoring for a long time. To prevent this, it is important to use a winch of appropriate capacity with a good ventilation or cooling system. Gaelix Marine Service https://gaelixmarineservice.com/anchoring-docking-mooring/windlasses-accessories/ offers models with thermal protection and automatic shutdown in case of overheating. It is also recommended to take breaks between work cycles and regularly clean the engine from salt and dirt.
