    Sherpa winch took a dump

    It should be....I sprayed the sealed surface with Permatex leak sealant (expensive stuff I used on a bad engine timing cover) and I'm going to build a rain/snow shield over it too. Maybe even a moisture sensor ..j/k Now i can recommend their product to others because of this.

    Sherpa winch took a dump

    Up date. They sent me another new motor and drum plate attached. So their 5 year warranty is honored, which is good.

    Sherpa winch took a dump

    They said they are going to send me another motor next week. And yes, the assistant sealer missed about 3/8 inch area. the water entered the motor bolt holes and stayed there because the rest was sealed real good.

    Sherpa winch took a dump

    No. also I have a circuit breaker on it. on this pull, it only had the weight of the chain as it went out when I was taking up slack. The culprit was WATER entering the motor, which according to their propaganda is capable of running under water. Mine has never been under water. I bought it 5/19.

    Sherpa winch took a dump

    So there are no Authorized repair facilities in the USA. They have a email, which I sent pics. I hope I can at least get them to send another motor. If I ever buy another winch, I'll have to consider something like this happening again. Funny thing is their advertisement includes a video of the...

    Sherpa winch took a dump

    My 24vdc Sherpa winch has very little use on it....very very little. I pull firewood with cables on the back pintle hitch. Today, for the 3rd time I needed to winch around a stump and the winch quit working before I even got the cable slack out. I drove back with about 12 feet of cable wrapped...
