No. Same 700 kg rating, and the heavy work still happens at 5:1 — identical leverage to the single-speed model. What you gain is time, not muscle. If your problem is effort rather than minutes at the ramp, look at a higher ratio or a braked winch.
Winding slack. On a single-speed winch you stand there cranking line in for nothing before the boat even takes up, and again after you launch. Direct drive clears that dead time quickly, then you switch across for the pull. Busy ramp on a Saturday, it shows.
Heavy hulls on steep ramps. Rated to 700 kg, and the hard part of the haul still sits at 5:1 — past that you want a higher ratio, or a brake winch that holds and lowers. It also adds a second gear set to rinse and grease after salt water.
