Storm SS1250 Low-Profile Vertical Windlass, 3/8" BBB, 12V, 1200W

IMTRA CORPORATION Muir Storm SS1250 Low-Profile Vertical Windlass, 3/8" BBB, 12V, 1200W

The Muir Storm SS1250 is a powerful and compact vertical electric windlass engineered for cruising sailboats and powerboats in the 30–42 foot range. Its low-profile design keeps the deck footprint minimal while delivering robust anchoring capability. The windlass runs on 12V DC at 1200W (1.61 hp) and is configured with a 3/8" BBB gypsy for smooth, reliable retrieval of both rope and chain. The 316 stainless steel upper section provides outstanding corrosion resistance in salt water environments, while the chrome-plated bronze gypsy ensures long-lasting durability under working loads.

The self-aligning QuickFit gearbox coupler simplifies installation and maintenance, and a heavy-duty dual-direction motor with manual override capability ensures the unit remains operable in emergencies. The unit delivers a maximum line retrieval speed of 98 ft/min (30 m/min) and handles a maximum load of 1,250 lb (567 kg) at a working amperage of 100–125A. The overall dimensions are compact — 7.5 in high, 10.25 in long, and 9.5 in wide — with an operational weight of 20 lb (9.1 kg). Manufactured in Australia by Muir and distributed throughout North America by Imtra Corporation.
