Lewmar V3G Vertical Windlass Gypsy Only 3/8 G4 & 5/8LINE Product Description
Discover Reliable Anchoring with the Lewmar V3G Vertical Windlass
Imagine effortlessly raising your anchor after a perfect day on the water, whether you're cruising coastal waters or exploring remote bays. The Lewmar V3G Vertical Windlass stands out as a compact powerhouse designed specifically for boats in the 40- to 50-foot range. Its gypsy-only configuration is optimized for 3/8-inch G4 chain paired with 5/8-inch line, making it ideal for sailors and powerboaters who prioritize seamless rope-to-chain transitions.
Crafted with a sleek stainless steel deck unit, this windlass blends durability with a polished look that enhances any foredeck. Beneath the surface, a heavy-duty worm gearbox delivers unmatched torque and control, handling the demands of real-world anchoring without skipping a beat.
Standout Features for Superior Performance
- Rope-Chain Gypsy: Precision-engineered to grip 3/8-inch G4 high-test chain and 5/8-inch nylon line securely, preventing slips during retrieval or deployment.
- Cone Clutch System: Provides smooth, progressive control, allowing you to feather the load for gentle handling of your rode.
- Robust Drive Train: Built with marine-grade components that resist corrosion and wear, even in saltwater environments.
- Stainless Steel Construction: A mirror-finish top plate resists pitting and maintains its shine through seasons of use.
- Complete Kit Ready-to-Install: Comes equipped with a rocker switch, dual-direction contactor, circuit breaker, and crank handle for immediate setup and peace of mind.
Optional manual override and chain release add versatility for those unexpected situations, like clearing debris from your chain locker.
Perfect Fit for Your Vessel
Tailored for boats measuring 12 to 15 meters (40 to 50 feet), this windlass excels with mixed rope-chain rodes common in modern anchoring setups. The gypsy's ISO 4565-compliant design ensures compatibility with standard G4 chain links, while the line compatibility handles octagonal or three-strand nylon without fraying.
Deck thickness up to 2-1/2 inches is no issue, and its compact footprint—measuring just 6-1/4 inches in diameter—fits neatly on most bow rollers or platforms without major modifications.
Effortless Installation Tips from Seasoned Boaters
Setting up your V3G is straightforward, but a few pro tips can make it foolproof. Start by marking your deck template precisely, ensuring the windlass aligns with your anchor roller for straight-line pulls. Use marine sealant around the mounting holes to prevent leaks, and route control cables away from chain paths to avoid chafing.
- Mount the contactor in a dry, ventilated locker below deck.
- Wire with at least 10-gauge tinned copper for reliable power delivery.
- Test in shallow water before your first offshore trip—engage the circuit breaker and cycle the motor slowly.
Pro tip: Pair it with a dedicated anchor washdown pump to keep the gypsy clean and extending its lifespan.
Long-Lasting Care for Peak Performance
Keep your windlass running like new with simple routines. After every outing, rinse the gypsy with fresh water to flush salt and grit. Lubricate the gearbox annually with waterproof grease, and inspect the clutch cone for wear—replace if engagement feels gritty.
Avoid common pitfalls like over-tightening the chain stripper or ignoring warning labels on the motor housing. With proper upkeep, expect years of trouble-free service, far outlasting budget alternatives.
Why Boaters Trust the Lewmar V3G Over the Rest
In a sea of windlasses, the V3G shines for its balance of power, compactness, and user-friendly operation. Unlike bulkier models, it won't dominate your foredeck aesthetics, and its quiet operation minimizes disturbance during dawn patrols. Boaters rave about the intuitive controls that let solo sailors manage heavy ground tackle effortlessly.
Backed by Lewmar's reputation for innovation—this was the first compact vertical stainless windlass—it's a smart upgrade for anyone tired of manual hauling or unreliable electrics.
