Lewmar Manual Winch Conversion

When you >Head out day sailing or cruising, you want to enjoy it and take it all in. The grind of winding a manual winch can often take the fun out of things.

 

Imagine being able to kick back and not having to worry about doing your back in!

 

With a retro upgrade kit, you can convert your Lewmar EVO or Ocean >Sheet winch into an electric one, allowing for complete hands-free operation with a simple push of a button.

 

Why not? There is no crime in wanting to enjoy your sailing! Sir James Hardy electrified the winches on his vintage Yacht Nerida. He actively sails in the Sydney Harbour races and as the average age of the crew has increased, they found the need to maintain the level of power to the winches.

 

Electric winches allow crew to perform any task on-board regardless of their strength or physical condition, and just make life easier in general. Electric winches also make it possible to sail bigger boats when you're shorthanded.

 

The Lewmar Range of electric winches are designed to recover Slack sheets with low loads quickly, then slow down for accurate trimming as sail loads increase. For back up, manual hand winching remains a standard function of all winches.

 

The EVO self tailing winch Range is available as a complete package or as an upgrade retro fit in a number of finishes in sizes 40 and above.

Why wait? Check out the kits here.
