Stainless Pot Hauler
Please specify motor and ratio when ordering
Sidewinder Pot Hauler
Designed primarily for shallow water blue crab and stone crab fishing industries. The Waterman Industries Sidewinder trap hauler is the ideal choice for the small boat fisherman who wants to eliminate the large boom associated with vertical mounted trap haulers. When mounted, the Sidewinder's 10 gauge 10″ stainless pinch sheaves, mounted at 18 degrees to eliminate shimming problems, provide plenty of pulling power for lines from ¼″ to ½″. Line speed is determined by the ratio of the Boston gear box.
- 0.190″ marine grade aluminum cowling with reinforced flanges for easy mounting
- Powered by a ¾HP Scott 12VDC electric motor
- Includes push-pull switch and solenoid
- Brass hub and stainless steel splitter knife
