The Lewmar H-series windlasses use the same reliable worm gearbox technology that Lewmar developed for the Concept and V-Series windlass ranges. The integral solenoid pack simplifies wiring and is protected by the durable maincase. These windlasses feature full power up/down functionality right out of the box. Easy, one-piece, above deck installation.

Note that the H2 and H3 Series of windlasses share the same housing. The difference between them is in the power of the series wound motors 700W vs. 1000W.

Is one of these windlasses a good choice for your boat? You can use the recommended typical boat lengths provided or, for a more rigorous determination, take the total weight of your ground tackle (anchor + rode) and multiply by 4. The maximum pull capability of the windlass should be at least as large as the resulting number.
