Anchor Winch
« on: May 18, 2012, 07:27:22 AM »
I have a 1992 Aquasport Explorer 210 and was thinking of installing an Electric anchor winch. Did anyone ever do this? Which winch is best for this boat? Thanks  :D

1. Start right here. viewtopic.php?p=63070#p63070
2. Read entire thread.
3. This is a 230 EX. Your hull with two feet glued on back for square dances on a Friday night. Everything else forward is identical.

Good luck and post pics.

Wouldn't hurt to let us know something about you and your Aqua. We are rabid but don't bite. Post to the ID Thread at the top of this forum. Pics would be nice. Not too many early 90 models active here but a large contingent of XFs, EXs and one Walkaround.

Love my 21.5 Explorer, but the Evinrude 200  (1998), seems to be aa gas hog.  Any suggestions?

Get a Flowscan or some type of a fuel flow gauge if you don't have one.  You will be amazed at you can use one to adjust your cruise throttle and trim to dramatically lower your fuel burn per hour.  If you really want to save some fuel repower with a Verado four stroke...  but for 16-18K for a new one thats a bunch of fuel!

Flow Scan all the way, some of the best money i ever spent on my boat plus it will pay for it self after awhile.
