Lewmar Dual Direction Toggle Switch 0052519 for Small Windlasses

The Lewmar Dual Direction Toggle Switch, part number 0052519, is a panel-mount control switch built for smaller anchor windlasses. It has a contactor built directly into the switch body, so it can drive the windlass motor circuit without needing a separate remote solenoid for basic up/down operation. The switch is a two-position, dual direction (up-down) toggle with an ON-OFF control type and normally open contact configuration wired in series, matching the standard control layout used on compact windlass installations.

Construction is metal, with copper alloy contacts for reliable current-carrying capacity and insulation resistance rated at 100 megaohms, supporting long-term durability in a marine electrical environment. Termination is push-on quick-connect, simplifying wiring at installation or when replacing an existing switch. The switch mounts through a panel cutout for a clean helm or deck-box installation, and it is designed specifically for use with windlass systems.

This is a genuine Lewmar part sold as a single switch unit, intended as a direct replacement or upgrade for the toggle switch on compatible smaller Lewmar windlass installations.
