40CST Two Speed Self Tailing Winch - Chrome

Lewmar Ocean 40CST Two-Speed Self-Tailing Winch — Chrome Bronze (49040056)

A polished, two-speed self-tailing sailboat winch built for bigger sail loads — convertible to electric or hydraulic operation down the line.

Why It's Worth It
The two-speed gearbox gives you a high gear for quick trimming and a low gear (40.2:1 power ratio) for grinding in heavier loads. The Wavespring self-tailing jaws automatically adapt to a wide range of line diameters, and Lewmar's design lets you service the winch with no tools: unscrew the top cap by hand to access the drum and center stem. From this size up, a manual-to-electric conversion kit is available if you ever want to upgrade to powered operation without replacing the whole winch. The chrome bronze finish gives this version a classic, polished look that's stayed popular with boat builders and owners across generations.

Use
A manual, two-speed self-tailing winch sized for mid-to-larger sailboats where you need real mechanical advantage on the low gear. The minimum-friction feeder arm keeps line handling snag-free.
