Overview
Not a vertical unit, this Lewmar H3 is a horizontal windlass with a worm motor and gearbox, a stainless steel warping drum and an integral contactor. The maincase is aluminum and composite, with a waterproof seal.
The stated pull and working load cover typical anchoring, and the drum helps handle a rope for docking. Voltage and recommended boat length are missing, so confirm them before buying.
Who it's for
Owners of boats that use a metric chain and want a space-saving horizontal layout will find a fit. Those who prefer a vertical windlass or need electrical specifications should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Warping drum for rope handling
- Integral contactor simplifies wiring
- Voltage not listed
- Boat length rating not listed
- Weight differs between item and package
Performance notes
The worm gearbox locks the load so the anchor does not slip back under tension, while the gypsy pulls the chain and the drum handles rope. The integral contactor reduces separate wiring parts.
