This is the more powerful version of the two Pro-Fish windlasses from Lewmar, fitted with a 5/16" chain gipsy, made of solid stainless steel except for the gipsy, which is bronze. (RRP for these is over £900.) It was installed on a charter yacht and had been in a jammed up condition, with the chain guide so bent that the motor would not turn the chain gipsy. With the help of the Lewmar works in Havant, it has been stripped down and cleaned and all working parts greased before reassembly. The motor now turns the gipsy as it should, but the chain guide really needs to be replaced, as do a number of PTFE washers/bearings (ebay) and the pin which disengages the drive to the gipsy for the freefall facility. All these parts are available from ebay or Lewmar. The three studs for bolting it down are included, but the rubber gasket is too flattened to be useful. Selling as I now have a more suitable windlass for my boat. Asking £60 ovno.
