Lewmar Pro-Fish 1000 Horizontal Windlass Kit - 12V Product Description
Discover the power and precision of anchoring with the Lewmar Pro-Fish 1000 horizontal windlass, engineered specifically for serious anglers and boaters who demand reliability in tough conditions. This 12V kit transforms how you handle anchors, especially during fast-paced fishing trips over reefs, wrecks, or ledges. Its innovative automatic freefall lets you deploy with confidence—no need to touch the windlass—while smooth retrieval keeps you focused on the water, not the work.
Built from marine-grade 316 stainless steel, it stands up to relentless saltwater exposure, ensuring years of dependable service on boats up to 38 feet. Whether you're setting up for Scandinavian-style stern anchoring or managing heavy leaded ropes, this windlass delivers exceptional control and speed, making every outing more efficient and enjoyable.
Why Choose the Pro-Fish 1000 for Your Next Adventure?
Fishermen swear by the Pro-Fish 1000 because it eliminates the hassle of manual anchoring. Imagine dropping your anchor precisely where the fish are biting without circling endlessly or burning fuel. The redesigned control arm with enhanced spring tension grabs ropes securely, even under load, preventing slips or jams. Pair that with the Pro-Guard system—a clever barrier that keeps ropes from jumping the gypsy—and you've got snag-free operation every time.
- Lightning-Fast Freefall: Deploy anchors rapidly without accessing controls, ideal for solo operators or quick repositioning.
- Versatile Gypsy Design: Handles everything from 8mm chains to 16mm leaded 3-strand or 8-plait ropes, perfect for mixed rode setups common in fishing.
- Corrosion-Proof Build: Sealed with closed-cell neoprene gaskets to shield internals from spray and submersion.
- Powerful Performance: 105 feet per minute retrieval speed means you're back fishing faster, with a 700W motor that punches above its weight.
- DIY-Friendly: Comes ready-to-install with all essentials, saving time and professional fees.
Robust Specs Built for Real-World Demands
This windlass isn't just tough—it's spec'd for serious use. Compact at 9-5/8 inches wide by 5-3/4 inches high, it fits neatly on most decks without dominating space.

Effortless Setup and Long-Term Care
Installation is straightforward for most boat owners: secure the base with included fast-mount studs, connect the dual-direction solenoid and circuit breaker, and wire to your 12V system using the rocker switch. A base gasket ensures a watertight seal, while the provided wrench simplifies emergency manual recovery—just a standard 1/2-inch socket needed.
For maintenance, rinse with fresh water after every saltwater trip to protect the stainless components. Inspect the gypsy and control arm periodically for wear, especially with abrasive leaded lines. This proactive approach maximizes the limited warranty coverage and keeps performance peak.
Pro Tips for Optimal Use
- Position at the stern for easy access during anchoring maneuvers.
