Our oceanographic winch is a portable Sidewinder Oceanographic Winch with level wind,
powered by a deep-cycle, 24VDC marine battery pack. Its unique powered-sheave form is
designed to be mounted like a hanging block - making it ideal for use onboard vessels of
opportunity. This winch can be used with plankton sampling nets, lightweight
CTD packages, and similar research instruments that do not require a conductive cable.
