LEWMAR winch spare parts

How do I identify my Lewmar winch model to order the correct winch spare parts?

Your Lewmar winch model is usually indicated on an identification plate located on the winch body itself. Look for an alphanumeric code (e.g., Ocean 40, EVO 45) and compare it with the information in the product description. If you have any difficulties, send us a photo of your winch and we will be happy to help you identify it.

What are the signs that indicate the need to replace the pawls on my Lewmar winch?

Worn pawls can cause slippage during winch operation, making it difficult or impossible to trim the sails. If you notice that the winch is not holding its grip or is making strange noises during use, it is likely that the pawls need to be replaced.

Can I use a generic grease to lubricate my Lewmar winch?

No, it is essential to use a winch-specific grease that is resistant to salt water and formulated to protect metal components from corrosion. Using a generic grease could damage the winch and compromise its performance.

Where can I find user manuals and exploded diagrams of Lewmar winches?

User manuals and exploded diagrams of Lewmar winches are often available on the manufacturer's website. Alternatively, you can contact us and we will do our best to provide you with the necessary documentation.

What does a complete Lewmar winch maintenance kit include?

A complete Lewmar winch maintenance kit generally includes pawls, springs, seals, O-rings, and winch-specific grease. The exact contents of the kit may vary depending on the winch model.
