Its hardly an independent test if the "winner" just so happens to be the company that paid for the test, and supplied all the winches.
Not exactly Choice magazine doing a comparison is it.
The 2 winches that did the worst also happen to be the 2 best selling winches.
So, surely there is some real world data of failed winches in the field to report on? A survey of customers, dealers, and boat manufacturers?
What about a test involving a boat, water, and an anchor?
This is just a marketing exercise, and a good one at that. It worked for Etec, sort of.
