Lewmar Circuit Breaker 50A for Pro-Sport/Pro-Fish 700W, CPX2/V2 24V, C3 24V, VX1 300, VX2/RX2 24V, HX1 500 Windlasses

The Lewmar Circuit Breaker 50A, part number 68000348, is a 50 amp circuit breaker built to protect Lewmar windlass electrical systems from overcurrent and short-circuit conditions. It serves as the primary safety disconnect between the boat's battery bank and the windlass motor, tripping automatically if current draw exceeds its 50 amp rating to prevent wiring damage or motor burnout. Installed in the power supply line to the windlass, it also functions as a manual on/off switch for isolating the windlass circuit during maintenance or storage.

This 50A breaker is sized specifically for a defined set of Lewmar windlass models: Pro-Sport/Pro-Fish 700W, CPX2/V2 24V, C3 24V, VX1 300, VX2/RX2 24V, and HX1 500. Matching the breaker's amperage to the correct windlass model is essential, since an undersized breaker will trip under normal load and an oversized breaker will not adequately protect the motor and wiring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What amperage is the Lewmar 68000348 circuit breaker rated for? The Lewmar Circuit Breaker 68000348 is rated for 50 amps.

Which Lewmar windlass models does this circuit breaker fit? This 50 amp breaker (part number 68000348) is sized for the Pro-Sport/Pro-Fish 700W, CPX2/V2 24V, C3 24V, VX1 300, VX2/RX2 24V, and HX1 500 windlass models.

How much does the Lewmar 68000348 circuit breaker weigh? It weighs 0.3 pounds.

What does this circuit breaker do for my windlass? It protects the windlass motor and wiring by breaking the circuit if current draw exceeds 50 amps, and it can also be used to manually disconnect power to the windlass.

Can I use the 68000348 breaker on a windlass model not listed in its fitment? No. The Lewmar 68000348 50 amp breaker is matched specifically to the Pro-Sport/Pro-Fish 700W, CPX2/V2 24V, C3 24V, VX1 300, VX2/RX2 24V, and HX1 500 models; using it on an unlisted model risks incorrect overcurrent protection.

Is this circuit breaker resettable or does it need replacing after it trips? The Lewmar 68000348 is a circuit breaker, which is resettable after tripping, unlike a one-time-use fuse.

Where does the 68000348 breaker install in the windlass wiring? It installs in the power supply line between the battery and the windlass motor, acting as both overcurrent protection and a manual disconnect switch.

What voltage systems is the Lewmar 68000348 used on? Its listed fitment includes both 12V and 24V Lewmar windlass models, including CPX2/V2, C3, VX2/RX2, and HX1 500, so it is used across those specific voltage configurations.

Does the 50 amp rating apply to a specific windlass motor size? Yes, the 50 amp rating on part number 68000348 corresponds to the current draw of the Pro-Sport/Pro-Fish 700W and related windlass models listed in its fitment.

Is the Lewmar 68000348 a genuine Lewmar part? Yes, 68000348 is the Lewmar manufacturer part number for this 50 amp circuit breaker.
