Lewmar CRW400 Captive Reel Windlass

Lewmar’s CRW400 windlass represents a step-change in engineering and design for small boat windlasses.

Built around a stainless steel chassis with composite bearing technology and a robust UV-stabilised ABS shell, the CRW400 is highly corrosion resistant and therefore suitable for use in salt-water.

• The unique “level wind” feature ensures that the rode is always stowed neatly on the drum, ensuring tangle-free anchoring and maximum stowage capacity.
• An integrated switch is fitted to the rear of the housing, together with a circuit breaker reset button. A clear window means that correct functioning of the windlass can be observed, with no risk of trapping fingers or clothing in the winding drum.
• Full UV-stablised ABS housing
• Manufactured in robust acetal, a compact worm and wheel mechanism powers the rode slider arm in perfect synchronisation with the motor, thereby neatly laying the rode on the drum
• The slider arm incorporates a sprung load-detecting device. This prevents the unit from paying-out when the line is slack.
• Heavy duty gears transfer the power of the 400W motor via the main shaft to the slider arm mechanism.
