Lewmar Pro-Series Horizontal 700 Windlass - 12V Product Description
Boat owners who demand reliability turn to the Lewmar Pro-Series Horizontal 700 Windlass for effortless anchoring on vessels up to 32 feet. Crafted from robust 316 stainless steel, this 12V powerhouse stands up to harsh saltwater environments, delivering smooth operation season after season. Its horizontal design saves precious deck space while offering intuitive push-button controls that make raising and lowering anchor a breeze—even for solo sailors.
What sets this windlass apart is its blend of raw power and thoughtful engineering. With a maximum pull of 700 pounds, it handles real-world conditions like choppy bays or strong tidal currents without breaking a sweat. The built-in manual recovery system provides peace of mind, ensuring you're never stranded if power fails during a busy day on the water.
Why Choose the Pro-Series Horizontal 700?
- Lightning-Fast Line Retrieval: Achieve up to 82 feet per minute, cutting down wait times when you're eager to explore the next cove.
- Versatile Compatibility: Works seamlessly with 1/4-inch chain or 1/2-inch rope, adapting to your existing ground tackle setup.
- DIY-Friendly Install: Above-deck mounting simplifies setup—no need for complex below-deck modifications. Most skippers complete it in a weekend with basic tools.
- Marine-Grade Durability: Full stainless steel construction resists corrosion, UV exposure, and impacts from accidental deck gear.
- Safety First: Emergency manual crank lets you recover anchor by hand, a feature pros swear by for offshore reliability.
Effortless Installation Tips for Smooth Sailing
Setting up your new horizontal windlass starts with selecting a flat, reinforced deck spot forward of the anchor locker. Template included in the kit ensures precise hole alignment. Secure with marine-grade bolts, wire to your 12V battery bank using tinned cable for optimal performance, and test with light load first. Pro tip: Integrate a circuit breaker rated for the motor's amp draw to protect against shorts in wet conditions.
For best results, pair it with a Lewmar gypsy that matches your chain—ensuring flawless retrieval without snags. Once installed, regular freshwater rinses after each use extend its lifespan dramatically.
Keep It Running Like New: Maintenance Essentials
Simple upkeep keeps this windlass performing at peak. After every outing, hose down the stainless components to flush salt buildup. Lubricate the gypsy with waterproof grease annually, and inspect electrical connections for corrosion. In storage mode, apply a light oil coat to moving parts. Skippers report years of trouble-free service with this routine, even in tropical climates.
Avoid common pitfalls like overloading beyond 700 pounds or using mismatched chain links—these lead to premature wear. With proper care, it's built to outlast multiple boating seasons.
Perfect for Day Sailors and Weekend Warriors
Imagine dropping anchor in a secluded inlet after a long cruise— the Pro-Series 700 makes it happen with minimal effort. Ideal for trailerable boats, fishing skiffs, or pocket cruisers under 32 feet, it shines in scenarios where space and simplicity matter most. Anglers love its quick reset for multiple spots, while families appreciate the safe, hands-free operation.
