Lewmar 35A Circuit Breaker for V700 Windlass, Panel Mount Slow-Blow Breaker 68000604

The Lewmar 68000604 is a 35 amp panel-mount circuit breaker built for the Lewmar V700 windlass. It is a single-pole, slow-blow breaker, meaning it is designed to tolerate the brief high-current surge that occurs when a windlass motor starts up without nuisance-tripping, while still protecting the circuit against a sustained overload or short. This breaker is intended to be installed inline with the windlass wiring as the dedicated protection device for the V700 model.

Because windlass motors draw significant current on startup, using a breaker rated and matched to the correct model is important: an undersized breaker will trip under normal operation, while an oversized breaker will not adequately protect the wiring and motor. The Lewmar 68000604 is manufactured to the amperage and type specified for the V700, so it restores factory-correct protection when replacing a failed, tripped, or missing breaker. Always confirm the model called for in your windlass owner's manual before ordering, since Lewmar offers this breaker family across several current ratings for different winch and windlass models.
