Lewmar Vx1 Windlass - 300/500W - Ø 6 or 8 mm

Guindeau VX1 - 300/500W - Ø 6 or 8 MM - Lewmar

The LEWMAR VX1 windlass is made of 316 stainless steel.

This windlass is mounted on a composite/stainless steel base.

Its mixed gypsy, 15% lighter yet just as strong, is made of a bronze core and 2 ultra-resistant polymer flanges that hold the links of the chain.

This design allows for great durability, provides lightness, and offers quieter operation.

It has a mixed gypsy (thus compatible with chain and rope) and is equipped with a magnet for the chain counter.

It is a vertical axis windlass, thus requiring minimal space in the anchor locker as its motor is housed under the deck.

This will allow for a reduced windlass height and make it more discreet on the deck.

The contact surface between the chain and the gypsy is approximately 180° (which allows for better chain retention).

This windlass includes a manual control so that the chain or rope can be retrieved manually in case of failure of the electric function.

This windlass is very quiet, lightweight, and suitable for chain-only or 100% chain anchoring.

The motor orientation is flexible for easy installation.

The VX windlass motor is waterproof to IP67 standard: According to the IP (Ingress Protection) standard, it is completely protected from dust (rating 6) and protected against the effects of temporary immersion (up to 1 m). In short, you can fully submerge your anchor locker without damaging the electric motor.
