Lewmar Pro-Fish Drive Cap Assembly Kit — Product description
Upgrade your anchoring routine with the Lewmar Pro-Fish Drive Cap Assembly Kit, designed specifically for Series 700 and 1000 windlass models. This clever addition transforms how you deploy your anchor, letting it drop freely without relying on the windlass motor's slower mechanical descent. Imagine positioning your boat swiftly in tight spots or during urgent maneuvers—no more frustrating delays as the motor grinds away.
Why Add Freefall Capability to Your Windlass?
Boaters and anglers know the value of efficiency on the water. Traditional lowering methods can feel sluggish, especially with heavier anchors or in choppy conditions. This kit introduces a smooth freefall mechanism, giving you precise control over drop speed while protecting your windlass from unnecessary wear. It's a game-changer for day trips, overnight anchors, or fishing charters where every second counts.
- Faster Deployment: Drop anchor in seconds, not minutes.
- Reduced Motor Strain: Preserve battery life and extend windlass longevity.
- Enhanced Safety: Manual override ensures you stay in command, even if power fails.
Robust Construction and Versatile Design
Crafted from durable stainless steel, this kit withstands harsh marine environments—salt spray, UV exposure, and constant submersion. It's not just tough; it's smartly engineered for seamless integration as a direct OEM replacement, minimizing downtime during installs.
- Compatible with standard winch handles for emergency retrievals.
- Simple plunger mechanism for effortless engagement/disengagement.
- Precision pin secures the drive cap, preventing slippage under load.
Whether you're retrofitting an older setup or maintaining a battle-tested rig, this assembly delivers reliability you can trust mile after nautical mile.
Effortless Integration into Your Setup
Swapping in this kit is straightforward for anyone familiar with windlass maintenance. Begin by powering down and securing your boat, then access the windlass top. The included components slot in precisely, with the instruction manual guiding each step. Pro tip: Inspect your gypsy and rode condition beforehand to ensure optimal performance post-install. Most users complete the job in under an hour, getting back to the water faster.

Long-Term Care for Peak Performance
To keep your freefall system humming, rinse with fresh water after every saltwater outing and apply a marine-grade lubricant to moving parts seasonally. Check the plunger and pin for wear during routine windlass inspections. This proactive approach prevents corrosion and ensures smooth operation when you need it most, like in unexpected squalls or crowded anchorages.
