Lewmar H2G Windlass 12v 8MM (5/16) Gypsy

The Lewmar H2G Windlass is part of the stylish, horizontal H-Series Windlasses that use reliable worm gearbox technology. The integral contactor simplifies wiring and is protected by a durable maincase. The unit's waterproof seal requires minimum maintenance, and since you can install it in one piece, getting started is quick and easy. 

The electro-polished stainless steel rode management system will handle both rope and chain, while the manual recovery module means that the anchor can be recovered even in the event of a power failure. Dual direction operation gives total control when both raising and lowering.

What size windlass would best suit your boat?

If you have a 10m (33 ft) boat, typically a 270kg (600 lb) pull windlass would be selected. The rule to crosscheck your windlass selection is to add the total weight of the chain and the weight of the anchor together. Rope is very light and does not affect the actual lifting performance of the windlass, but can be factored in. For safe cruising in all types of conditions and sea areas, Lewmar recommends that you multiply the total weight of your anchor and chain by 4. This number should be less than the maximum pull of the windlass you have selected. Should your findings be at or more than the maximum pull, select the next largest windlass. The windlass does not stow the anchor rode in the locker. Gravity stows the rode in the locker. There must be a free and clear area under the hawse pipe for the incoming rode to lie; if not the rode will jam. Your windlass is a retrieval device; the windlass retrieves the anchor and rode. A windlass is not a high load bearing device. When at anchor your rode should be secured to a cleat or other mooring point on the bow.
