Lewmar VX1 Vertical Windlass with 6/7 mm Gypsy 300 Watt Motor

Lewmar VX1 Vertical Windlass 6/7mm Gypsy 300W Anchor Power

Featuring a specialized 300W motor, this Lewmar VX1 variant is the ideal mechanical solution for boaters using lighter chain configurations on vessels up to 30 feet. The vertical orientation is optimized for 6/7mm gypsies, ensuring a precision fit that eliminates chain skipping and enhances thermal stability during deployment. This unit provides a streamlined anchor retrieval system that prioritizes energy efficiency and weight distribution without sacrificing the reliability required for offshore environments.

Technology-driven metallurgy provides a 316 stainless steel finish that resists oxidation in the harshest marine spray. The VX1’s hybrid construction of stainless steel and composite materials ensures a lightweight yet durable chassis for long-term ownership value. Maintenance intervals are streamlined, requiring only periodic rinsing and drive shaft inspection. This model is particularly suited for smaller coastal cruisers who require automated anchor deployment with a lower amp draw on the vessel’s electrical bank.
