Gypsy Capacity:
8mm chain = 14mm 3-strand rope
6mm and 10mm gypsy = chain only

The X Range = X1, X2, X3, X3.5, X4 and X5 all feature as standard:

• Watertight stainless steel ball bearings in the base for maintenance-free, reliable performance
• Technologically Advanced Clutch Design manufactured from two conical discs fitted onto the main shaft by two flat parallel planes - avoids the use of keys and spreads the load more evenly
• Factory-fitted sensor in the base together with a magnet in the Gypsy enables an external chain counter option.
• Models X1, X2 and X3 have a rope / chain gypsy
• Independently operated drum for warping (with drum only)
• Manual override - the spring-loaded ratchet fitted in the gearbox has two main functions
  1. enables the windlass to recover the chain and anchor in the event of electrical failure
  2. provides a safety mechanism so that chain jams do not damage the deck
• Project X2 and X3 are available with Mirror Polished Stainless steel AISI 316L casing as a special order upgrade
