My windcatcher spinner is HUGE, a sun design. What is the weight capacity of this motor? The non motorized hook says when replacing it must hold 5-10

There is no weight limit on the box; however, I don't believe the spinner would last very long (if at all) with that kind of weight on it. Our spinner only weighs about 3 lbs. it is made by Iron Stop and their phone number is 866-476-6363. Hope this helps.

I can tell you that we put 2 wind spinners and one crystal the size of a golf ball on the hook and it is still running (when the sun shines) this is the 2nd season. It did stop running and my husband fiddled with it and it was rusted so he oiled it and it was spinning again.

I have an 11x12 inch tear drop shape spinner that weighs 11oz. I have had the solar motorized hook since June 2014 and it has worked great. Hope this helps.

I use the lindy rigging kit for spinners only witch its works great. Each rig gets about a 1/2 inch in the spool. If your using big circle hooks on your cat rigs I'd say it would get a bit tight. Hope this helps

You should look on eBay because for 160 more you can get a fidanza 7.5 lb. Flywheel.

Not sure but be careful because the arrow can spinter if the draw weight is too heavy. Does that make sense? Mine is only 32 lbs

You can control the amount of torque through the output of your arm momentum. If you get it spinning and you maintain it at a comfortable momentum, then keep it there. "up to 24.9 lb" means you can spin it up to 10k rpm, but it takes a lot of work, which is also a great workout.

I bought this same replacement in April 2013 and love it. My swing measures approx. 76"x45" and we have constant high winds and it has held up extremely well. I can't say if it would fit yours but I was leary also and really happy that it did and it was not fit tight, which I thought it would. Every item is always different I guess. I would order this again when needed. Wish you luck on this. For the price it is well worth it.

It's designed to easily handle a trolling motor and trust Me it works great! Since the Sun Dolphin is so light a trolling motor pushes it around just find. Anything more would really be to much for it, not saying it wouldn't work, just saying there simply is no need to go with an out board motor when the trolling motor does the job right! An outboard motor might just get you and the little Dolphin into danger so if you do try it please do yourself a favor and do so with extreme caution!!!

It's only rated for 3 HP. I think 6 is a bit too much. I use a 45 lb. thrust trolling motor and that's more than adequate.

I'm not sure, but I think it might just tangle the strings. I had a heavier wind spinner attached to mine.

Fairly large. It could reel a 100lb+ fish if you fight it correctly! If you are talking tightening the drag and strong arm the fish in, well then probably no. (Depending on the fish) I would say a fish like a 30lb Bonita or Tuna will wreck the bearings on this reel when it takes off! However, I am sure you could bring up/in a 30lb Black Drum, Redfish, Cod, or some "slower" fish with it. I have hooked into many a large 5-6 ft black tip shark (playing with the drag) and fought them usually till the leader saps or hooks straighten! Its an awesome reel, would buy it again & again in a heartbeat. As always, clean and service your reels often (especially the nice ones) and you will enjoy them a long time. PS, I own the 5500

I don't remember. I sent mine back. the little handle at the top that flattens down for storage was so fragile at the point where it attaches that it broke off within a week or so of my using it. This spinner looks pretty, spins great - but that little handle needs redesigning.

i don't know what the weight capacity is. i purchased this for a very large windchime that most shephards hooks bent over when put on, but this works perfect for me. where i live it's very windy as well and it stay strait all the time.

Call the company directly and they will tell you which one to order. They are super helpful! We replaced ours and it holds up to -30 and 20-30 mph winds in Minot, ND! Buy with confidence.

Robert, I would be happy to answer your question for you and also let you know with a phone call 360-755-0665 you can save some money.Most customers use the Minn Kota Endura 30lb thrust motor. this is sufficient for most applications. The 50lb would give you that little extra in case you got caught in a heavy wind.Ron SchmidtValley Sports and More360-755-0665

I had 2 Wind Spinners attached to mine and it ran continuously for about a three weeks outside of my gazebo, before the batteries died. So if your ball is not to heavy, I would say yes.

Stephen, No the SE-9 Fisherman's Dream package does not come with a motor. It does come with the motormount, so all you have to do is add a trolling motor. The maximum engine capacity is as follows: 2 hp gas (35 lbs. max weight) or up to 74 lb. thrust electric. Hope I've answered your question. Sincerely, Dennis Hill Stores
