Lewmar's vertical 'V-series' stainless steel windlass for power or sailboats in the 9-metre - 15-metre (30-ft. - 50-ft.) range has been upgraded this season.
New styling, increased power control, additional safety features and 'FastFit™' technology have been united to offer an enhanced version of Lewmar's popular V2/V3 windlass - providing real benefit to customers and builders alike.
The deck unit, cast from 316 stainless steel, has a smooth radius base and is available with or without a stainless steel gypsy drum. Beneath deck, a robust, reliable worm gearbox has been selected to offer maximum strength and control.
Available in 12 and 24-volt versions, with either a V2 gearbox, providing a maximum pull of 760 kg. (1670 lbs.), or V3 to achieve a maximum pull of 1020 kg. (2240 lbs.), the windlass takes rope-chain or all chain anchor rodes at the touch of a button. The windlass design incorporates a fall safe lever to stop the chain from accidentally spilling out. Each model is also 'chain counter ready', with a magnet and sensor fitted as standard.

The upgrade V2/3 features Lewmar's innovative 'FastFit™' technology. FastFit™ speeds up the installation process by clamping the drive shaft of the deck unit to the gearbox below deck.
A unique 'Fast Fit Clamp' is used to secure the gearbox in one of eight positions. Once in place, a locating dowel is pushed home and the clamp shut. Now windlass installation on decks that slope away or offer limited access are made quick and hassle-free.
Lewmar provides a variety of models in the upgraded V2/3 range to suit different chain and rope diameters. Units come with optional gypsy sizes to suit 6-mm, 7-mm, 8-mm or 10-mm chain and rope from 12- to 16-mm. An optional manual override and open pipe version is also available on these windlasses.
