Lewmar windlass accessories cover the parts that keep your anchor windlass working day after day, from replacement gypsies and strippers to deck foot switches and circuit breakers.

Choosing Lewmar Windlass Accessories

Start with your windlass model. Gypsies are matched to a specific chain and rope size, so the wrong gypsy will skip or jam under load. Lewmar lists fitment for V1, V2, V3 and Concept series windlasses, so confirm your series before ordering a gypsy or stripper.

Deck foot switches come in up and down versions and in plastic or stainless steel housings. Stainless holds up better in salt spray on an exposed bow. A correctly rated circuit breaker protects the windlass motor and wiring from overload, so size it to your windlass draw. When replacing worn parts, match the original part number where you can to keep fit and function correct.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I pick the right Lewmar gypsy?

Match the gypsy to your windlass series and to the exact chain and rope size you run. The wrong size will not feed the rode smoothly.

Should I choose plastic or stainless foot switches?

Stainless steel switches resist salt and sun better on an exposed bow deck. Plastic works in protected installs and costs less.

Why do I need a circuit breaker for my windlass?

A breaker sized to your windlass protects the motor and wiring from overload and short circuits during heavy anchor pulls.
