Lewmar Vertical Winches
Lewmar Vertical Anchor Winches
A vertical windlass positions the motor and gearbox below deck, helping to keep the deck installation compact while providing effective anchor retrieval and deployment.
Lewmar offers vertical windlasses for different vessel sizes, anchoring requirements and rode configurations, making them suitable for new installations as well as upgrades to existing anchoring systems.
When choosing a Lewmar vertical winch, consider:
- Vessel size and displacement
- Anchor weight
- Chain and rope size
- Available anchor locker space
- Deck thickness and installation requirements
- Power supply requirements
- Required pulling capacity
- Rope and chain compatibility
Vertical Windlasses for Rope & Chain
Depending on the model and configuration, Lewmar vertical windlasses can accommodate chain or combination rope and chain anchor rodes.
Selecting the correct windlass, gypsy and anchor rode combination is important for dependable operation. Check the specifications of the individual Lewmar model against your vessel, anchor, chain and rope before ordering.
Why Choose a Vertical Anchor Winch?
Vertical windlasses are a popular choice where there is sufficient space below deck for the motor and gearbox. Their compact above-deck footprint can help create a clean anchor installation while providing convenient powered anchor handling.
The right configuration will depend on your vessel and anchor locker layout, so installation space and rode requirements should always be considered when selecting a model.
