Powered Lofrans Royal ?

[buchhla]

Hi, I recently just upgraded my primary anchor and chain on my boat and in the process needed to replace my chain wildcat/gypsy. My questions is that I am not sure exactly what model winch I have. The winch itself, is probanly 1992 vintage and looks almost identical to a Loframs royal manual, but mine is powered.

I can't seem to find any info on it from Lofrans site. Anyone know what it is? My primary concern would be finding a manual/service manual for it and the possibility of a motor replacement if mine should fail.

Thanks!

A couple of years ago there was a powered Royal on ebay. First time I had heard of one. Not to say I'm in a position to hear much about them though....

Jippy, a electrical powered Royal !!! We have the same and need spareparts but where to get it???

I have had no luck finding parts for it other than parts that are standard lofrans stuff like the chain gypsy. Luckily it is still working and I havn't needed anything other yet!

Finally, the mystery is solved! The windlass is an Lofrans Panther manufactured until 1988. I managed to get spareparts and if anyone wants some informatuion regarding this particulary windlass, contact me in cold Sweden!
