Lewmar Venta™ Pontoon Anchor Winch

Transform Your Pontoon Boating Experience

Imagine gliding across a serene lake or navigating a winding river, only to anchor effortlessly with a simple tap of your foot. No more wrestling with heavy chains or dodging slippery deck hazards. The Lewmar Venta pontoon anchor winch redefines convenience for pontoon owners, tucking neatly beneath your boat's deck for a clean, clutter-free surface. This innovative setup lets you focus on the joy of the water, not the hassle of anchoring.

Crafted for real-world boating adventures, it pairs seamlessly with plow-style anchors, gripping various seabeds—from sandy bottoms to weedy shallows. Whether you're fishing with friends, hosting a sunset cruise, or securing your spot during a lively regatta, this winch delivers reliable performance every time.

Under-Deck Mounting for Maximum Deck Space

Traditional anchors turn your bow into a muddy mess and a potential slip zone. With the Venta's under-vessel installation, your deck stays pristine and safe. The foot switch—ideally positioned at the bow—allows hands-free operation, so you can maintain control of your boat's position while deploying or retrieving the anchor. It's a game-changer for solo boaters or those with young kids aboard, minimizing physical strain and keeping everyone out of harm's way.

Powerful Performance in Any Condition

Powered by a robust 850W motor sealed to IP66 standards, this winch shrugs off water splashes, dust, and harsh marine environments. It handles up to 88 lbs of ground tackle with a maximum pull of 220 lbs, ensuring you stay put even when winds pick up or currents tug. A smart slackline sensor automatically cuts power if the line goes limp, preventing overloads and extending the winch's lifespan.

Key Advantages for Pontoon Enthusiasts

• Effortless Operation: Foot switch deploys and retrieves in seconds, freeing your hands for steering.
• Enhanced Safety: Eliminates deck clutter, reducing trips and slips on wet surfaces.
• Durable Build: High-torque motor and protective rating stand up to saltwater exposure and rough use.
• Versatile Compatibility: Optimized for plow anchors, delivering superior hold in diverse underwater terrains.
• Peace of Mind: Backed by solid warranty coverage—three years on hardware, one year on electronics.

Real-World Boating Scenarios

Picture anchoring in a crowded cove: With the Venta, you position precisely without acrobatics. Or during a family outing on choppy waters, its strong pull keeps you steady for worry-free relaxation. Pontoon owners rave about how it simplifies docking at remote sandbars or maintaining position for overnight stays. Pair it with a compatible bow roller for smooth rope management, and you've got a setup that feels custom-built for your lifestyle.

Simple Setup Considerations

Installation involves securing the winch to the pontoon's underside, routing power from your 12V system, and mounting the foot switch forward. It's straightforward for those with basic marine wiring skills, but consulting a pro ensures flawless integration. Regular freshwater rinses after saltwater trips keep it running like new.
