VX1 GD Vertical Windlass (500w) - 8MM Gypsy/Drum

Lewmar VX1 Vertical Windlass, Gypsy/Drum, 8mm, 500W, Extended Kit (69100037)

A lighter, quieter vertical windlass for boats up to 40', built on Lewmar's VX platform with a hybrid gypsy that combines metal durability with composite quiet operation.

Use
Fits 8mm (5/16") G4 chain, with the gypsy and drum handling both chain and rope rode. 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. The IP67-rated cover is the first ingress-protection rating Lewmar has put on a windlass this size, protecting against water and dust beyond the standard sealed housing.

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