V3GD Vertical Windlass (Gypsy/Drum) - 5/16" G4 & 1/2" Line

Confirmed: fits 5/16" G4 chain, same V3 gypsy/drum platform and kit contents as the 3/8" version, with the same 1,000W motor and 1,962 lb max pull rating cited consistently across sources for this model line.

Lewmar V3 Gypsy/Drum Vertical Windlass Kit — Stainless Steel, 5/16" Chain (6672221108-139)

The world's first compact, low-profile stainless steel vertical windlass built for both power and sailboats — a complete kit that conceals its drive train under a clean deck unit while delivering serious pulling power.

Why It's Worth It
Most vertical windlasses expose at least part of their drive train above deck. The V3 hides the worm gearbox and splined shaft entirely beneath a sleek stainless housing, so it looks good while it works — without sacrificing strength. The FastFit clamping system self-aligns the deck unit and motor gearbox during installation, eliminating the trial-and-error shim fitting that typically makes windlass installs a two-person job. A cone clutch and manual override give you a mechanical backup if you ever need to recover the anchor by hand.

Use
Fits 5/16" G4 chain with a rope-chain gypsy. Designed for power and sailboats 40'-50'. Comes as a complete kit — windlass, guarded rocker switch, circuit breaker, two-direction solenoid, and handle — so there's nothing extra to source separately for a standard install.
