Karver KPW130 Power Winch - 4 Speed Winch - Stainless

The Karver KPW130 4-speed winch with stainless steel drum combines exceptional power with a premium, traditional finish. Featuring a polished 316L stainless steel drum, this version delivers the same high-load performance as the standard model while offering enhanced durability and a classic appearance on deck.

Designed for demanding sailing applications, the KPW130 delivers up to 3 times more power than a comparable winch. Built on a standard size 46 footprint, it provides the power of a much larger winch while reducing the physical effort required to handle heavy loads.

At the core of the system is Karver’s 4-speed automatic gearbox, offering two standard speeds alongside two ultra-powerful gears. Gear changes are achieved simply by reversing the direction of rotation, with the winch automatically returning to first gear when the load is released for smooth and intuitive operation.

This increased power significantly reduces crew fatigue and makes sail handling easier and more controlled. The KPW130 also offers a practical alternative to electric winches, delivering high performance without added complexity, weight or power requirements.

Key Features:

• High-power 4-speed automatic winch system
• Polished 316L stainless steel drum for durability and corrosion resistance
• Up to 3x more powerful than equivalent winches
• Size 46 footprint with significantly increased output
• Automatic gear changes via rotation direction
• Returns to first gear when load is released
• Self-tailing design for secure rope handling
• Reduces effort and crew fatigue

The KPW range is ideal for high-load applications such as furlers, daggerboards, foils and heavily loaded sail systems. Increased power also allows the use of shorter winch handles and improves control in tighter cockpit layouts.

The 316L stainless steel drum provides excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, making it ideal for long-term use in harsh marine environments. Combined with Karver’s precision engineering, this winch offers both performance and durability.
