1/4&" Chain CPX2 Low Profile Vertical Windlass Kit

Originating from customer feedback asking for a lighter windlass, Lewmar developed the CPX range of lightweight vertical windlasses to complement their popular all stainless steel V-Series.
CPX windlasses feature the tried and tested V-Series worm-wheel gearbox architecture and use quality materials throughout - weight saving hard-anodized aluminum for the base and strong cast stainless steel for the gypsy top cap and chain pipe cover.

• Suitable for most boats from 33 to 42 ft in length
• 15% lighter than comparable all-stainless windlasses
• For rope, chain, or combination rodes (3-strand or 8-plait rope required)
• Available in low profile gypsy only or gypsy/capstan models
• Modern architecture with fewer parts for increased reliability
• Motor can be rotated to any of seven positions for easier installation
• Designed for easier servicing
• Stainless steel top cap, gypsy and chain pipe with alloy base

Is one of these windlasses a good choice for your boat? You can use the recommended typical boat lengths provided or, for a more rigorous determination, take the total weight of your ground tackle (anchor + rode) and multiply by 4. The maximum pull capability of the windlass should be at least as large as the resulting number.
