Great winch

Let me just begin by saying i have been boating my whole life .Powe winches were the only options .Double pull and slow as hell because are boats were old and heavy .always had center keel stoltz rollers or bed of roller trailers , Never submerged are trailers ,why people do that is idiotic, Rims,tires , bearings , lights dont like salt water , just my take.So i needed a winch to pull my Gradywhite 208 adventure with new 200 sho v max ,2 batteries ,80 gallons of fuel,fishing gear and coolers will say 2 tons .Old winch took for ever I installed grunter this week .Had issue with winch plate sitting level on winch stanchion because mine was 3 and a quarter inches wide . The bolt pattern is 3 inches , so if your stanchion is less than 3 u have to make sure u can turn the bolts with out head of bolt hitting.If your wider bolts should sit on top of stanchion . Either way i made trip to machine shop for some modification of holes in plate.Made a touch bigger and spacer to get winch plate above stanchion. 5 hours later it was installed and ready to go .I mounted battery box on trailer so i could use boat on different vehicles . Because the leads for winch are larger than normal and nobody has that unless they have a grunter. I bought a New 850cc amp 110 amp hour battery . Made jumper cables 4 ought from my truck battery to winch battery and # 2 for my earth ground . I am not happy about the pay out because it is so fast you cant allow your boat to settle out in the water ,making sure the bottom of your boat doesnt hit in the ramp .It stops as soon as u let off button but jerks the whole rig . My old 912 u could let it off slowly with the clutch - brake .Now for the good news, When i started loading my boat i was amazed how fast it was on the trailer . I dont think it was more than a minute , it happened so quickly .A guy at ramp said dam that winch is fast.It is what they said it is .Had 12.86 volts before i left ,after unloading and loading had 12.72 . So the battery is going to be fine and will keep it on trickle charger . Ok almost done . Never saw smoke or noticed and heat from winch like they said u might .So if u have some mechanical ability ,patience and some time ,this winch is well worth it .Not only is my sho turning heads my winch is too .Mick dundee said this is a knife, i say this is a winch .

I just received and installed this winch onto my 24V HZJ77 Land Cruiser. It's hard finding decent 24V accessories, so I was glad to see that Sherpa made a 24V winch! I've run it in/out a few times, and it seems pretty quick. I'm excited to be able to use it out on the trail soon ^_^

Their turn around after I ordered, and shipping was fast. Couldn't be more happy with their service.

I blew through two winches in a month before trying Sherpa and now I couldn’t be happier. My business requires hauling heavy loads at inconsistent angles and at times with slack. The Grunter’s design works perfectly for me and so far has handled anything I threw at it.

Show me the wire diagram to encorperrate a shut off switch and a four hundred amp switch in line fuse . Purchase from you . I think first battery , then shut off switch the fuse in line ,then to motor, or winch is this correct ?

The winch itself looks very stout & capable. I have little doubt it will do the job as intended. The installation process went fairly well, but I would have given 4.5 stars. There were a few minor things I did not like: The primary cables back to the battery are too short at 5’ for a bigger winch. Usually a 25,000lb winch is going on a bigger truck with longer hood. I would recommend 6-7’ to reach batteries in the back of the engine compartment. Also, there is a small grounding cable in the wiring harness that has a typical loop connector on it which is to be connected to one of the studs on the outside of the winch. I would have liked to see a higher quality, shrink-type connector that won’t corrode outside. The control box instructions want us to drill holes in the back of it and use silicone caulk to seal the fastener holes. It would be better if the box had a flanged base with pre-drilled holes. Just trying to give some constructive advice for furthering improvement of a nice product.

Great portable air compressor! Has many uses! Worth the money 💰

Shipping was good, the small issue we had was resolved very quickly. Email was quickly answered so I think everything went well the packaging was badly damaged but no parts were lost.have not used the winch yet because it is going to be used around the farm here mounted on a winching plate. But all in all I think it’s going to do well thank you for offering a good product. Rex

Yet to install

Fast delivery and product is exactly as described. Super thankful for this.

I put this on a military humvee and everything looks and feels very high quality.

Awesome winch smooth and powerful if I ever buy another winch it will be a Sherpa

Still waiting a few more days to use it, we think it's the best one.

This is dynamite in a small package, it’s a small footprint self contained package that we mounted in a toolbox for farm feed truck applications. Fit up great, good quality components and impressive performance.

I bought a 'Steed' 17,000 Ibs winch about two years ago. I park my rig outside but installed the winch per instructions with all covers. Never submerged the winch in water and only used a half dozen times or so. The winch stopped working completely, I took apart the control box and it was full of water. With just rain and driving the box was able to take on water but was water tight enough to not let any out.... I was able to get another from sherpa (scintex) and still had no power at the winch. After testing voltage the bix was sending power but the winch was not using it. I took apart the winch and the entire motor was corroded. I sent pictures to Sherpa and they are honoring the 5 year warranty and sending me a new motor. The customer service and helpfulness from Alex in sales to Tyrone and the whole support team for the warranty my experience with Sherpa has made me a loyal customer and happy to suggest their business to friend, family and whoever asks.
