16AST Single Speed Self Tailing Winch - Aluminum

Lewmar Ocean 16AST Single-Speed Self-Tailing Winch — Aluminum (49016000)

A classic, single-speed self-tailing sailboat winch — Lewmar's most popular winch design, gentle on the line but with a firm, reliable grip.

Why It's Worth It
The Wavespring self-tailing jaws automatically adapt to a wide range of line diameters, so you're not fighting the winch to get a clean tail every time you trim. A low-friction feeder arm smoothly transfers the line into those jaws, and internally, loads ride on permanently lubricated, smooth-running stainless steel roller bearings that won't seize under high load. Size 50 and smaller winches in this range share the same pawls, so spares stay simple if you're running multiple winch sizes on the same boat. The one-piece bronze center stem supports stainless steel main shafts and gear spindles for real strength under load.

Use
A manual, single-speed (2:1 gear ratio) self-tailing winch sized for smaller sailboats or secondary winch positions on larger boats. The screw-on cap and strip-from-the-top construction let you service internal components without removing the winch from the boat.
