Expert opinion

« Technical analysis of the Lewmar VX2 gearmotor »

The Lewmar VX2 12 V 700 W gearmotor is a critical spare part for maintaining the operation of VX2 series windlasses, essential for vessels from 30 to 48 feet. Its native integration of the relay significantly simplifies electrical wiring, reducing installation time and potential failure points. The motor’s orientation flexibility, enabled by its IP67 design, offers broader mounting options in the often constrained spaces of hulls. This feature is a distinct advantage, allowing optimal integration without compromising waterproofing.

This component is particularly relevant for owners looking to replace a worn or faulty gearmotor on an existing VX2 windlass. Its identical footprint to older Lewmar V2/3 models ensures direct compatibility, making upgrades or replacements nearly "plug-and-play" at the mechanical level. The inclusion of a preinstalled chain counter sensor is a technical detail that facilitates integration with modern anchor management systems, providing precise measurement without requiring additional external sensors.

While specifically designed for the VX2 range, this gearmotor represents a robust and well-engineered solution for anchor handling. It is crucial to ensure exact compatibility with your Lewmar VX2 windlass model and verify the power requirements for your boat’s specific application to guarantee optimal performance and system longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the compatibility of this gearmotor?

This gearmotor is specifically designed to be compatible with Lewmar VX2 windlass series.

What is the required supply voltage for this gearmotor?

This gearmotor operates at 12 volts.

What is the power rating of this Lewmar gearmotor?

This gearmotor has a power output of 700 Watts.

Is the relay included with the gearmotor?

Yes, this reduction gear is supplied with an integrated relay.

What is the IP rating of this gearmotor?

The gearmotor has an IP67 protection rating, meaning it is dustproof and can withstand temporary immersion in water.

Is this reduction gearbox an original Lewmar part?

Yes, this is a gearmotor from Lewmar, designed as a spare part for their windlasses.

Is it necessary to have this reduction gear installed by a professional?

Yes, the installation of this type of marine electrical equipment must be performed by a qualified marine electrician to ensure safety and proper operation.

What electrical precautions should I take before installing the motor-reduction unit?

Before starting the installation, it is imperative to ensure that the boat's battery power supply is disconnected.

Can using non-Lewmar parts affect the warranty?

To ensure optimal performance and avoid voiding the warranty, it is recommended to use only genuine Lewmar parts and accessories.

Can this gearmotor be used for applications other than the windlass?

No, windlasses and their components, including this gearmotor, are designed and supplied for anchor control in marine applications and must not be used for any other purpose.

Can the windlass be used as a docking bollard?

No, a windlass must never be used as a mooring bollard. The anchor rode must be secured to a cleat, a chain stopper, or a designated anchor point. Using the windlass to secure the rode would damage it.

Are there physical risks when using a windlass?

Yes, it is important to keep hands, fingers, clothing, and hair away from the windlass, anchor, and rode during operation to prevent serious bodily injury.

Should the windlass power supply be disconnected when not in use?

Yes, always disconnect the windlass power supply at the circuit breaker or isolator when it is not in use.

Can the windlass circuit breaker be disabled or bypassed?

No, the circuit breaker on this product must never be disabled or bypassed. It is designed to protect the motor and cables from overheating and damage.

What is the primary function of a windlass gearmotor?

The gearmotor is a critical component that provides the power and torque required for deploying and retrieving the anchor and its rode.

How to ensure smooth chain or rope lowering?

There must be sufficient vertical drop for the chain or line during retrieval. Insufficient space can cause jams.

Should the deck be reinforced if it is thin?

Yes, thin decks, or decks constructed from foam or balsa sandwich, will require reinforcement to distribute the loads applied to the deck during windlass use.
