Experience effortless anchoring with the Lewmar V2 Vertical Windlass Gypsy Only Kit, engineered for serious boaters who demand reliability in harsh marine environments. This 12V model, tailored for 5/16-inch G4 chain and 1/2-inch line, combines a sleek stainless steel deck unit with a high-torque 700-watt motor, delivering smooth operation whether you're deploying or retrieving your anchor. Its vertical mount design ensures a low-profile installation that preserves deck space while handling the rigors of coastal cruising, offshore passages, or weekend getaways.

Built for Endurance and Precision

Crafted from robust 304 stainless steel, this windlass resists corrosion and stands up to saltwater exposure, UV rays, and constant use. The rope-chain gypsy precisely grips 002 to 10mm DIN 766, Campbell 3/8-inch S4, or 5/16-inch G4 chain, along with compatible 1/2-inch to 5/8-inch 3-strand or 8-plait rope. No more frustrating slips or jams—its W.A.R.P. drum and cone clutch provide controlled, vibration-free performance, even under heavy loads up to 470 pounds working load limit.
