Viper drum winches are designed in Australia by Bell Marine and are made to the highest quality from hand polished Stainless. They are powerful and reliable, and due to their compact nature are set to fill the spaces where other anchor winches simply won’t fit.

Managing Director Richard Macalister says “Bell Marine has ownership and control of each stage of manufacturing from R & D through to electro-polishing of the stainless steel, which means quality is ensured in every Viper product.”

The flagship Viper 1000 Pro Series II comes with a world first submersible 1000 Watt motor in a 316 electro polished stainless. It also features a very high speed motor, meaning the problems associated with free-fall are negated when you are right on “Spot X”. The powerful motor is capable of drop speeds of 45 m per minute and retrieval at 36m per min means no messing around when moving between spots.

As well as 3 models of drum winch, the Viper Pro Series includes game outriggers, bait boards, rod holders and much more for the discerning boatie. Viper is available now from Kiwi Yachting as well as good boat builders and retailers nationwide.
