    Replacing Lewmar windlass

    My rope/chain splice half down the rope and half up the chain has been working fine on my Lewmar ProFish 700. I could not get other splices to feed and I tried a dozen times before getting this one to work. The rope is a little worn so this Summer's project is to reverse the rope for a fresh end...

    Replacing Lewmar windlass

    What Lewmar model windlass do you have? I have a Lewmar ProFish 700 and have had trouble with the rope/chain splice. Lewmar won't really help if it isn't their anchor rode and chain. Mine was a deal with Defender. Eventually I found a way to get the splice to feed...

    Islander 270 Windlass Upgrade

    I have similar setup only Islander. The ProFish is mounted on my anchor rope locker. It works ok but be careful that you don't rip it out. Did that once and had to rebuild. Problem isn't where it's mounted. I had lots of problems with getting the windlass to swallow the 8-plait rope to chain...

    Islander 270 Windlass Upgrade

    I installed a Lewmar ProFish 700 on my 268 Islander. It's installed on top of the anchor rode locker. It works well but you have to be careful not to snug the chain up too tight. I hit the switch the wrong way and busted the hatch up! But besides that warning it works just fine. Other will tell...

    Need some bow roller advise

    I installed a Five Ocean's pivoting anchor roller for my Lewmar ProFish 700 and Delta anchor. Self launching. https://www.five-oceans.com/collections/anchor-rollers/products/hinged-anchor-bow-roller-stainless-steel-fo3696-fo-3696?variant=40342455222441 I did re-work the fiberglass. The davit...

    Looking for Anchor Windlass suggestions

    Latest version of rope chain splice. Been working great for a few dozen drops reef fishing. Lewmar Profish 700 sucks it right up! All strands are fed through the first link criss-crossed as with a normal rope/chain splice. From there the strands are separated. One strand from each of the four...

    Looking for Anchor Windlass suggestions

    Defender won't do anything. It's three years old. They gave me a $40 credit on the $100 rode. That's ok. Today I tested my hybrid splice. Worked pretty good. A little trouble getting it to load but not bad. I'm going to keep testing over the next few weeks. The splice is 8-plait. The...

    Looking for Anchor Windlass suggestions

    ...I'm continuing to have problems with my Lewmar ProFish 700 not wanting to swallow the rope/chain splice. I redid the splice a number of times and tried different styles of splices. Nothing works. This was a package ordered from Defender but they shipped their own brand of anchor rode. I...

    Looking for Anchor Windlass suggestions

    I bought my Lewmar ProFish 700 and 8-plait with chain from Defender as a package. I have to check to see if it was a Lewmar anchor those or their own.

    Looking for Anchor Windlass suggestions

    My Lewmar ProFish 750 Is having a hard time swallowing the rope to chain splice. Tried several types of splices. 1/4" chain and 1/2" 8-plait anchor rhode. Just a FYI.

    Anchor rode

    I'm using a Lewmar ProFish 700 with 1/4" chain and 1/2" 8-plait. You will need to use a rope to chain splice. It's not difficult to do - there are several examples on the internet. I first used a tapered splice that goes back on itself. I had trouble with the windlass swallowing the splice -...

    Anchor line

    Defender has some good deals on anchor line. For my Lewmar ProFish 700 I went with a pre-spliced 8-plait. Windlass had trouble swallowing the spice this Winter in FL. The splice loops thru the chain then doubles back and splices into itself. I'm going to cut it off and do a rope to chain splice...

    Adding a Lewmar Profish 700 anchor winch to my 1988 Grady White 204 Fisherman (Center Console)

    ...locker is going to dictate placement of the windlass. You will need topside access to the locker. I upgraded from a Horizon 700 to a Lewmar ProFish last year. Mine was mounted to the hatch on the anchor locker so I kept it the same. I have an identical setup for the roller assembly. 300' of...

    Lewmar profish700 horizontal on a 2003 GW Gulfstream >> HELP !! Question ..

    My new Lewmar ProFish 7000 in installed on the lid (same as my old Horizon windlass). The direction of pull flat and forward locks the lid in in place. The hinges are strong enough. I wouldn't have done it this way but it has worked well for me for 12 years of heavy Florida use. Lewmar not...
