VX1 Vertical Windlass (500w) - 6/7MM Gypsy

Lewmar VX1 Vertical Windlass, Gypsy-Only, 6/7mm, 500W, Extended Kit (69100031)

A lighter, quieter vertical windlass for boats up to roughly 34', built on Lewmar's VX platform with a hybrid gypsy that combines metal durability with composite quiet operation — gypsy-only, without the warping drum.

Use
Fits 6/7mm (1/4") G4 chain. The hybrid gypsy pairs a metal anchor-warp core with a polymer chain wheel, so the chain rides on a surface that absorbs noise instead of grating metal-on-metal — Lewmar markets this as the quietest gypsy in its class, and the gypsy itself is 15% lighter and 5% stronger than a conventional metal gypsy. The IP67-rated cover protects against water and dust, the first ingress-protection rating Lewmar has offered on a windlass this size.

This is the extended-kit version, which includes the deck unit, motor gearbox, solenoid, rocker switch, circuit breaker, and gypsy as a complete package.
