Lewmar CRW 400 Captive Reel Windlass 66910441, 12V/400-Watt, for Boats 18'-24' Without Chain Lockers

The Lewmar CRW 400 Captive Reel Windlass (part number 66910441) is a self-contained, 12V/400-watt anchor windlass built for smaller boats in the 18-24 foot range that do not have a chain locker. Because the anchor line spools directly onto the captive reel inside the unit, there is no need to route rode below deck, and no separate cleat or chain stopper is required since the unit is self-locking. The windlass comes fitted with 115 feet of 1/4 inch diameter anchor line and delivers a maximum pull of 40 pounds with a power-down anchoring speed of 82 feet per minute.

Installation is straightforward: the stainless steel baseplate bolts to the boat deck and the unit is wired to a 12V power supply. Full remote operation from the helm lets the operator deploy and retrieve the anchor without leaving the console. A level-wind feature spools the line evenly to prevent bunching during deployment and retrieval, and the housing is built from tough composite stainless steel that resists corrosion in both fresh and saltwater environments. The unit measures 7 inches high by 12 inches wide by 14-15/16 inches long and is finished in black. It is backed by a 3 year manufacturer warranty.
