Lewmar 18m Gen2 Control Cable

Upgrade your anchoring system with the Lewmar 18m Gen2 Control Cable, a precision-engineered component designed for seamless integration with modern marine setups. This durable cable ensures reliable signal transmission over extended distances, perfect for boats where the helm station is far from the windlass or bow thruster. Boaters trust it for its ability to handle the rigors of saltwater exposure and constant vibration without signal loss or wear.

Engineered for Marine Demands

Crafted from high-grade, marine-rated materials, this control cable resists corrosion, UV degradation, and mechanical stress. Its shielded construction minimizes electromagnetic interference, delivering crisp, responsive commands to your windlass controls. Whether you're dropping anchor in choppy waters or retrieving it swiftly during a sudden squall, this 18-meter length provides the flexibility needed for larger vessels or custom installations.

Perfect Compatibility for Gen2 Systems

• Direct fit with Lewmar Gen2 controls, ensuring plug-and-play simplicity.
• Ideal extension for setups requiring precise control from distant locations like flybridges or aft cockpits.
• Supports foot switches, remote panels, and chain counters without compromising performance.

By matching the exact specifications of Gen2 electronics, it eliminates guesswork in wiring, reducing installation time and potential errors that could lead to costly downtime at sea.

Installation Insights from Pros

Route the cable through existing conduits or secure it with marine-grade zip ties to avoid chafe points. Use heat-shrink connectors for watertight splices if shortening is needed, and always test continuity before finalizing. Pro tip: Pair it with Deutsch connectors for superior vibration resistance in engine spaces. This setup not only enhances reliability but also future-proofs your system for software updates in Lewmar's evolving lineup.

Boosting Your On-Water Experience

Imagine effortless anchoring from the comfort of your helm—no more running forward in rough conditions. This cable empowers smoother operation, quicker response times, and peace of mind knowing your gear performs when it counts. It's a small investment that amplifies safety and convenience on every voyage.

Long-Term Durability and Maintenance

Inspect annually for frays or insulation cracks, especially at bend radii. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to saltwater to extend lifespan. Unlike generic cables, its robust jacket withstands repeated flexing, making it a staple for serious cruisers and fishing charters alike.
