Its self-tailing feeder arm grips and releases line automatically as you crank, so the sailor can trim without needing a second set of hands to tail the line. The winch has a gray anodized aluminum alloy drum, chosen for its combination of light weight and corrosion resistance in a marine environment. Beneath the drum, a one-piece bronze center stem supports stainless steel main shafts and gear spindles for long-term strength under load, while the internal gear train uses high-tensile bronze gears that are machine-cut to close tolerances for smooth, consistent power delivery. A wave-spring feature with self-adjusting springs lets the winch grip smaller-diameter rope without needing separate spring kits. The winch has a 2:1 gear ratio and a 15.8:1 power ratio, giving mechanical advantage suited to genoa, jib, and other sail-trimming loads on boats sized for a 16-series winch. Servicing is straightforward: the winch uses a screw-on cap and strip-from-the-top construction, so internal components can be removed for cleaning and lubrication without unbolting the winch from the deck and without special tools. The unit measures 4-3\/4 inches base diameter and 5-3\/4 inches tall, and ships as a single winch with drum.\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 49016000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sailboat Winch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ocean Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinch Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-Tailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGear Ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.8:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrum Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gray anodized aluminum alloy\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\u003eTools Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e No tools required for servicing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winch with drum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 743683001536\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the Lewmar 49016000 winch?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Lewmar 49016000 is a Size 16 winch from the Ocean Series, with a 4-3\/4 inch base diameter and a height of 5-3\/4 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this winch self-tailing?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Lewmar 49016000 is a self-tailing winch, meaning its feeder arm grips and releases the line automatically as you crank, so no separate tailer is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the gear ratio and power ratio of this winch?\u003c\/strong\u003e This single-speed Lewmar Size 16 winch has a gear ratio of 2:1 and a power ratio of 15.8:1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the winch drum made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The drum on the Lewmar 49016000 is a gray anodized aluminum alloy, chosen for corrosion resistance and reduced weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need special tools to service this winch?\u003c\/strong\u003e No tools are required.
