It is used to trim sheets and control lines on sailboats, giving mechanical advantage through a 2:1 gear ratio and a 15.8:1 power ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EVO series is designed for tool-free servicing: the winch top unscrews by hand so the drum lifts off and the gear train is exposed without any tools. Each internal component is unique in shape, so the gear train can only go back together one correct way, which simplifies maintenance and reduces reassembly errors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe winch has a top-mounted stainless steel feeder arm that keeps the working line from riding up and trapping above the jaws. Its wave spring jaws automatically flex to grip different line diameters so the self-tailing action stays secure as sails are trimmed. Directional arrows are marked on the winch to show the correct rotation, which helps less experienced crew members operate it correctly. The drum is chrome bronze with a bright chrome finish, and the winch is a size 15 with a 4-3\/4 inch base diameter and a height of 4-11\/16 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lewmar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 49515056\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sailboat Winch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTailing Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-Tailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGear Ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.8:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrum Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeder Arm Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-11\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 743683020100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTools Required for Drum Removal:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need tools to service the Lewmar 15ST EVO winch?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 15ST EVO is designed so the top unscrews by hand, letting the drum lift off and expose the gear train without any tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Lewmar 49515056 a single speed or two speed winch?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Lewmar 15ST EVO, part number 49515056, is a single speed winch with a 2:1 gear ratio and a 15.8:1 power ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is this winch?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a size 15 winch with a base diameter of 4-3\/4 inches and a height of 4-11\/16 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the drum made of on the 15ST EVO?\u003c\/strong\u003e The drum on the Lewmar 15ST EVO is chrome bronze with a chrome finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Lewmar 15ST EVO winch weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Lewmar 15ST EVO (part number 49515056) weighs 8.4 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the gear train be reassembled incorrectly after servicing?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, each internal component of the 15ST EVO gear train is uniquely shaped, so it can only be reassembled one correct way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the feeder arm on this winch?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 15ST EVO has a stainless steel top-mounted feeder arm that prevents the line from trapping above the jaws.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the self-tailing feature work on this winch?\u003c\/strong\u003e Wave spring jaws automatically adjust to different line diameters to grip and tail the line, and directional arrows on the winch show the correct rotation for trimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when I order this winch?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Lewmar 15ST EVO, part number 49515056, is supplied as a complete single winch unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the EVO series improve on compared to the earlier Ocean Winch design?\u003c\/strong\u003e The EVO series, including this 15ST model, adds tool-free access to the gear train, a feature the earlier Ocean Winch design did not have.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lewmar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49025133183195,"sku":"LEW-49515056","price":977.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/49515056-C2__64023.1739460632.500.750.jpg?v=1785329115","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/lewmar-15st-evo-self-tailing-winch-single-speed-chrome-bronze-drum-size-15","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
