A Mooring winch is used to retrieve vessels mooring at a port, pier, or another anchorage. The winch pulls on a cable that attaches to the mooring line when the vessel is moored.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The vessel is then free to move. If the mooring line breaks, the winch can reel in the line. Another use for a Mooring winch is to secure a vessel to a buoy or dock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mooring winches are also used for non-moored vessels, such as boats in harbors or on rivers. When a boat is not docked, the winch can secure the boat to a buoy or dock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The winch can also be used to haul boats up onto docks.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Is The Mooring Winch?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
