Lewmar equipment

Which Lewmar winch model is best suited for my boat?

The choice of winch depends on the size of your boat, the sail area, and the type of maneuvers you intend to perform. In general, basic models (size 6-16) are sufficient for dinghies and small sailboats. For larger yachts, it is advisable to opt for more powerful winches (size 30-55).

How do I maintain a Lewmar winch?

Routine maintenance of a Lewmar winch involves cleaning, lubricating, and checking the moving parts. Use a winch-specific lubricant and regularly check the condition of the bearings and screws. In case of wear or damage, replace defective components immediately.

Can I install an electric winch in place of a manual winch?

Yes, it is possible to install an electric winch in place of a manual winch, provided that your boat is equipped with an adequate electrical system. Installation requires some modifications, but the result is a more efficient and comfortable sailing system. We also offer on-site installation services.
