Lewmar Windlass Rope/Chain Combination Gypsy: Break Load and Splicing Compatibility
16mm rope is a little under strength compared with 10mm Grade 40 Calibrated Anchor Chain.
16mm and 18mm rope are splice-compatible with 10mm DIN766/ISO4565 Grade 40 Calibrated Anchor Chain
We can splice 20mm diameter anchor rope into 10mm Chain for you on request but it is a border line tight fit in the link and the splice will be very bulky compared with the cahin and may not pass around the gypsy successfully.

Lewmar FastFit™ Installation 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.
- If anchor locker fills with water, check motor is dry and free of rust.
- Check anchor rode splice for wear.
- Check gypsy as it is a high wear item and will last longer if properly used. When re-assembling the cone and gypsy, add a small smear of grease to the contact surfaces.
- Check mounting studs after first two or three recoveries and regularly thereafter.
Annual Servicing
- Check electric cables for damage. Repair/renew as required.
- Strip the above deck components, clean and lightly grease.
- Check motor/gearbox for corrosion, clean and repaint with a suitable marine grade oil-based enamel paint.
- Remove electric motor cover and blow dust away from brushes using foot pump or similar taking care not to breathe any dust.
