Its self-tailing feeder arm design reduces friction and keeps the line feeding cleanly onto the drum without snagging, which cuts down on hands-on-rope time during tacks and trims. A wave spring feature with self-adjusting springs lets the winch handle a range of rope diameters, including smaller-diameter lines, without manual adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside, a one-piece bronze center stem supports stainless steel main shafts and gear spindles for strength under load, while the high-tensile bronze gears are machine-cut to close tolerances for smooth, consistent power delivery through both gears. In first gear the winch delivers a 1.9:1 gear ratio and a 13.2:1 power ratio; shifting to second gear steps up to a 40.2:1 gear ratio and a 40.2:1 power ratio, giving sailors both speed for quick trims and mechanical advantage for heavier loads. The drum has a chrome finish for corrosion resistance and a clean look on deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe winch measures 5-15\/16 inches at the base diameter and stands 6-15\/16 inches tall, and weighs 15.75 pounds. It is suited to both racing and cruising sailboats where a size 40 two-speed self-tailing winch is called for.\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 49040056\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sailboat Winch, Ocean Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinch Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-Speed, Self-Tailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGear Ratio, 1st Gear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.9:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGear Ratio, 2nd Gear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40.2:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Ratio, 1st Gear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.2:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Ratio, 2nd Gear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40.2:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-15\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6-15\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.75 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrum Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome-plated bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Stem Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bronze, one-piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMain Shaft and Gear Spindle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGear Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-tensile bronze, machine-cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winch with drum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 743683001611\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Lewmar 49040056 a one-speed or two-speed winch?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Lewmar 49040056 Ocean Series 40CST is a two-speed, self-tailing winch, with a 1.9:1 gear ratio and 13.2:1 power ratio in first gear, stepping up to a 40.2:1 gear ratio and 40.2:1 power ratio in second gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size winch is the 49040056?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a size 40 winch, measuring 5-15\/16 inches at the base diameter and 6-15\/16 inches tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this winch weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Lewmar 49040056 winch weighs 15.75 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the drum made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The drum on this winch is chrome-plated bronze, giving it corrosion resistance and a polished chrome finish for on-deck hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat internal materials give this winch its strength?\u003c\/strong\u003e A one-piece bronze center stem supports stainless steel main shafts and gear spindles, and the gears are high-tensile bronze that is machine-cut to close tolerances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this winch self-tail?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 49040056 is a self-tailing winch with a feeder arm design that reduces friction and keeps line feeding onto the drum without snagging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes with the winch?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Lewmar 49040056 ships as the winch with its drum; it does not include mounting hardware beyond what is part of the winch assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this winch handle thinner sailing lines?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the wave spring feature on this Ocean Series 40CST winch has self-adjusting springs that accommodate smaller-diameter ropes without manual adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this winch suited to racing or cruising sailboats?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both.
