The Wavespring self-tailing jaws still automatically adapt to a wide range of line diameters, 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, simplifying spares if you're running multiple sizes on the same boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA manual, two-speed self-tailing winch sized for mid-size sailboats or primary winch positions where you need both quick-trim and high-power gears. The screw-on cap and strip-from-the-top construction let you service internal components without removing the winch from the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lewmar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45216446415030,"sku":"LEW\/49030000","price":2018.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0642\/6584\/6966\/files\/LEW49030000_001.jpg?v=1782415695","url":"https:\/\/ampedupmarine.com\/products\/lewmar-49030000","provider":"Amped Up Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
