Lewmar Gen 2 Panel/Aux Loom Cable - 22M
Lewmar Gen 2 Panel/Aux Loom Cable - 22M — Product description
Enhance the reliability of your boat's anchoring system with the Lewmar Gen 2 Panel/Aux Loom Cable in 22-meter length. Designed specifically for seamless integration between control panels and auxiliary stations on Gen 2 windlasses, this pre-wired loom ensures clean, protected wiring runs that stand up to harsh marine conditions. Whether you're upgrading an existing setup or installing a new windlass, this cable simplifies connections while minimizing signal interference and wear over time.
Crafted with marine-grade materials, it features tinned copper conductors for superior corrosion resistance and flexibility, even in tight bilge spaces or along deck runs. The pre-installed connectors snap into place effortlessly, reducing installation headaches and potential points of failure common in custom wiring jobs.
Standout Features and Real-World Advantages
- Optimized Length for Versatility: At 22 meters, it accommodates installations on larger vessels, from bow-to-helm runs on sailboats to multi-station setups on motor yachts, without excess slack that could lead to chafing.
- Pre-Terminated Connectors: Factory-fitted plugs match Gen 2 panel specs precisely, eliminating crimping errors and ensuring waterproof IP67-rated seals against spray and submersion.
- Shielded Bundle Design: Multi-conductor loom groups power, ground, and control signals together, shielding against electromagnetic interference from nearby engines or radios—critical for reliable up/down commands.
- UV and Abrasion Resistant Jacket: Outer sheath withstands constant sun exposure and deck traffic, extending service life in saltwater environments where lesser cables degrade quickly.
- Lightweight Yet Durable: Reduces overall system weight without sacrificing strength, helping maintain your boat's performance balance.
Why It Matters for Your Anchoring Setup
In the world of boating, a dependable windlass control circuit can make all the difference during anchoring in choppy seas or at night. This loom cable cuts down on voltage drop over distance, ensuring crisp response from remote stations, and its plug-and-play nature means you spend less time wrenching and more time on the water.
Perfect Fit and Easy Setup
Engineered exclusively for Lewmar's Gen 2 series windlasses, including models like V1, V2, V3, and Pro-Series, it pairs flawlessly with dual-function panels and auxiliary switches. Confirm compatibility by checking your windlass control box—look for the Gen 2 labeling on the PCB or harness ports.
Step-by-Step Installation Tips
- Plan Your Route: Map the cable path avoiding heat sources, sharp edges, and high-traffic areas. Use cable ties every 30-50 cm for support.
- Disconnect Power: Always isolate the battery bank before starting to prevent shorts.
- Route and Secure: Feed the loom through existing conduits or glands, leaving service loops at each end.
- Connect Securely: Align and push connectors until they click; test continuity with a multimeter before powering up.
- Waterproof and Test: Apply dielectric grease to seals, then cycle the windlass multiple times in air and water to verify operation.
Pro Tip: For runs over 15 meters, consider fusing close to the power source to protect against overloads, enhancing safety on extended cables like this 22M version.
Long-Term Care for Peak Performance
Regular inspections keep this loom humming. Annually check for jacket cracks, connector corrosion, or loose ties—especially after offshore passages. Clean terminals with a vinegar soak for salt buildup, and reapply silicone sealant if needed. If you notice intermittent control issues, inspect for pinched wires or water ingress at glands first; this cable's design minimizes such problems but vigilance pays off.
Compared to DIY wiring harnesses, Lewmar's factory loom offers traceable quality, often outlasting generic alternatives by years in abusive conditions like tropical anchoring grounds.
Frequently Asked Questions
What windlass models is the Lewmar Gen 2 Panel/Aux Loom Cable compatible with?
It's tailored for Lewmar Gen 2 windlasses, including V1 through V3 gypsy sizes and select Pro-Series, connecting panels to aux switches without adapters.
Is this 22M cable suitable for boats over 50 feet?
Yes, the length handles extended runs on larger vessels, like from bow pulpit to flybridge helm, while keeping voltage drop minimal for smooth operation.
Do the connectors require special tools for installation?
No tools needed beyond basic trimming and securing—the pre-installed plugs are designed for tool-free, secure mating with Gen 2 components.
How does this loom protect against marine corrosion?
Tinned wires and a robust, UV-stabilized PVC jacket resist saltwater, ozone, and abrasion, with IP67 connectors sealing out moisture effectively.
Can I splice extensions onto this cable if needed?
While possible, splicing compromises the warranty and integrity—opt for the exact length or parallel runs to maintain factory reliability.
What if my windlass controls fail after installation?
Check power supply, fuses, and connections first; this loom's shielding prevents most EMI issues, so faults are often upstream in panels or batteries.
