Lewmar Pro-Series Generation 3 Motor Kit - 12V Product Description
Upgrade Your Windlass Performance with the Gen 3 Motor Kit
Boat owners know the frustration of a sluggish or unreliable windlass when you're trying to drop or retrieve anchor in choppy waters. The Lewmar Pro-Series Generation 3 Motor Kit steps in as a reliable replacement, delivering smooth, powerful operation tailored for demanding marine environments. Designed specifically as a 12V motor upgrade, it breathes new life into your existing setup without the need for a full windlass overhaul.
What sets this kit apart is its engineering for longevity and efficiency. Built with robust materials that resist corrosion from saltwater exposure, it ensures consistent torque and speed, even after repeated use. Whether you're anchoring in a crowded bay or handling heavier loads offshore, this motor kit restores factory-fresh performance, helping you focus on the boating experience rather than mechanical worries.
Engineered for Marine Reliability
- Enhanced Torque Delivery: Provides the pulling power needed for 700W and 1000W windlasses, making anchor retrieval effortless.
- Waterproof Sealing: IP-rated protection guards against splashes, spray, and submersion, ideal for bow-mounted installations.
- Thermal Overload Protection: Prevents burnout during extended operation, extending the motor's service life.
- Compact Design: Direct fit replacement minimizes downtime and simplifies swapping out your old unit.
- Quiet Operation: Reduced noise levels mean less disturbance on deck, perfect for overnight anchoring.
These features aren't just specs—they translate to real-world dependability. Imagine effortlessly hauling up chain and rode in windy conditions, with the motor humming steadily without overheating or straining.
Perfect Fit for Pro-Fish and Pro-Series Models
This motor kit slots seamlessly into Lewmar's Pro-Fish and Pro-Series windlasses rated at 700W and 1000W. It's the go-to replacement for boats from day sailors to larger cruisers where these models are standard. Before installing, double-check your windlass model's power rating to ensure a match—most owners find it's a plug-and-play solution that revives units showing signs of wear like slow speeds or intermittent power.
Pro tip: Pairing this with routine deck maintenance keeps your anchoring system in top shape season after season.
Effortless Swap and Long-Term Care
Replacing your windlass motor doesn't require specialized tools or a marine mechanic. Start by powering down your boat's electrical system, then access the motor housing at the base of the windlass. Disconnect the wiring, remove the old motor, and secure the new Gen 3 unit in place. Reconnect leads—positive to positive, negative to negative—and test in shallow water. The whole process typically wraps up in under an hour for experienced DIYers.
For maintenance, rinse with fresh water after every outing to flush salt buildup. Inspect wiring connections annually and grease moving parts sparingly. This proactive approach maximizes the motor's durability, often outlasting the original by years.
Trusted by Boaters Worldwide
From coastal cruisers in the Mediterranean to offshore adventurers in the Pacific, this motor kit earns praise for its no-fuss reliability. Owners report faster retrieval times and fewer breakdowns, turning potential anchoring headaches into smooth routines. It's especially valuable for upgrades on older boats where original motors have fatigued from UV exposure and constant moisture.
Investing in this kit means peace of mind—knowing your windlass will perform when it counts most, like during sudden weather shifts or multi-day trips.
