Lewmar VX1 Vertical Windlass 8MM Gypsy 500 Watt Product Description
Discover the power and precision of anchoring with the Lewmar VX1 vertical windlass, engineered for boaters who demand reliability on every voyage. This compact powerhouse handles 8mm gypsy chain effortlessly, making it a go-to choice for sailboats and smaller yachts navigating challenging seabeds and unpredictable weather.
Unmatched Durability Meets Modern Design
Crafted from premium stainless steel and advanced composites, the VX1 stands up to the harshest marine environments. The robust worm wheel gearbox delivers smooth, self-locking operation, preventing chain slippage even under heavy loads. An IP67-rated cover seals out water and dust, ensuring years of trouble-free performance whether you're cruising coastal waters or venturing offshore.
What sets it apart? The same deck footprint as older V1 models means seamless upgrades—no need for major modifications to your setup. Lewmar's innovative engineering shaves weight while boosting strength, giving you a lighter load on deck without sacrificing muscle.
Superior Performance for Real-World Anchoring
Whether dropping hook in a crowded bay or hauling up in a blow, the VX1 excels. Its 500-watt motor powers through anchors with confidence, offering quick line speeds that get you settled fast. Boaters rave about its quiet operation and intuitive controls, turning a chore into a breeze.
- Handles dynamic loads with ease, ideal for short-handed crews.
- Optimized for 8mm chain, compatible with common ISO chain standards.
- Compact design fits tight foredecks without compromising power.

Why Boaters Trust the VX1 for Anchoring Excellence
In the world of vertical windlasses, the VX1 shines for its balance of power, portability, and protection. Short-handed sailors appreciate the effortless retrieval, while liveaboards value the corrosion-resistant build that withstands constant saltwater exposure. It's not just equipment—it's peace of mind when conditions turn.
Pro tip: Pair it with a well-matched anchor rode for optimal performance, and you'll notice the difference in how quickly and securely you set and reset.
Installation and Maintenance Made Simple
Mounting is straightforward on most bow rollers—template included for precise alignment. Ensure a solid backing plate for max pull, and route power cables with care to avoid voltage drop. For longevity, rinse with fresh water after every use and inspect the gypsy teeth seasonally. A little care keeps it spinning smoothly for seasons to come.
