We do splice 16mm diameter anchor rope into 8mm Chain on request but it is a border line tight fit in the link.

FastFit™ Feature***

Normally, gearbox alignment to the deck unit is a critical part of the installation process, but Lewmar have developed a special hassle-saving clamping system which perfectly aligns the deck unit and motor/gearbox enabling one person to fit them together on their own.

First, fix the deck unit, then slide the gearbox up the shaft, swing the FastFit™ clamp shut and tighten up the bronze nut - the motor/gearbox can be rotated and fixed in increments of 45°.

Lewmar Recommended Windlass Maintenance

Regular Servicing

  • Wash down the windlass using fresh water.
  • Examine all electrical connections for corrosion, clean and lightly grease.
  • Check anchor locker drain to avoid water damage to motor/gearbox.

  • Check anchor rode splice for wear.

  • Check mounting studs after first two or three recoveries and regularly thereafter.

  • Strip the above deck components, clean and lightly grease.
