FAQs
What specific Lewmar windlass models is this motor kit for?
This motor kit is designed as a replacement for the Lewmar V700 and Sprint 600 windlass models.
What anchor chain sizes does this motor kit support?
The kit supports calibrated chains in 6mm DIN766, 1/4" G4 or BBB, and 7mm DIN766 sizes.
Do I need to buy anything else to install this motor?
You will need the appropriate tools for mechanical and electrical work. Ensure you have the windlass's service manual for specific wiring diagrams and mounting instructions. This kit is the motor unit itself.
Can I use this motor with a different chain size than listed?
No, using a chain size not specified will prevent the gypsy from engaging correctly, leading to poor performance and potential damage to the windlass.
Is this motor kit a direct bolt-on replacement?
Yes, it is designed as a direct replacement for the specified Lewmar V700 and Sprint 600 windlasses, aiming for a seamless installation.
What is the warranty on this replacement motor kit?
Please refer to the retailer or Lewmar documentation for specific warranty information, as it can vary.
How long should I expect the installation to take?
Installation time can vary based on experience and accessibility. A qualified technician might complete it in 1-3 hours, while a DIYer could take longer.
Troubleshooting
Motor does not operate when powered
Check all electrical connections to the motor and the power source. Verify that the circuit breaker or fuse protecting the windlass is engaged and functional. Ensure the windlass is not mechanically jammed.
Windlass operates slowly or intermittently
Inspect electrical connections for loose wires or corrosion. Ensure the anchor chain is the correct size for the gypsy. Check for any obstructions or binding in the anchor rode or windlass mechanism.
Motor makes noise but does not turn the gypsy
This often indicates a problem with the internal gearing or clutch mechanism. Disconnect power immediately and consult a marine technician. The motor may need servicing or replacement.
Overheating motor
Ensure the windlass is not being overloaded by trying to lift excessive weight or pulling on a fouled anchor. Check that the chain is properly seated in the gypsy. If overheating persists, an internal motor issue may be present.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check: Before purchasing, verify that your existing windlass is a Lewmar V700 or Sprint 600 model. Crucially, confirm your anchor chain size matches one of the supported specifications: 6mm DIN766, 1/4" G4 or BBB, or 7mm DIN766. Incorrect chain size will prevent proper engagement and operation.
Installation: Installation typically involves removing the old motor and mounting the new one in its place. Ensure the electrical connections are secure and correctly wired according to the windlass's service manual. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified marine technician or individual with strong mechanical and electrical experience to ensure safety and proper function.
Care: While the motor itself requires little direct maintenance, proper care of the overall windlass system is vital. Keep the windlass clean and free from debris. Regularly inspect electrical connections for corrosion. Ensure the chain and gypsy remain aligned. Lubrication of mechanical components as per the windlass manual will contribute to the longevity of the motor and the system.
