Lewmar V700 Driveshaft Kit

The Lewmar V700 Driveshaft Kit is a genuine replacement assembly designed for operators and boat owners who rely on the V700 windlass for reliable anchor deployment and retrieval. This kit addresses wear, damage, or performance degradation in the driveshaft mechanism that connects power from the motor to the anchor winch drum. Whether you're managing a professional vessel, cruising sailboat, or trawler, maintaining a fully functional driveshaft is essential to safe and efficient anchoring operations in varying sea conditions.

This OEM-specification driveshaft kit is engineered to Lewmar's rigorous marine standards, ensuring precise torque transfer and alignment with the V700 windlass gearbox and motor coupling. The kit's design minimizes vibration and wear during sustained pulling loads, critical when raising heavy anchor chain or rode under load. Compact dimensions (6 x 3 x 6 inches) and manageable weight (1.2 lbs) make installation and handling straightforward, while the genuine Lewmar construction (MPN 66000609) guarantees compatibility and long-term reliability in salt-spray and freshwater environments alike.

Mariners experiencing slipping, grinding noises, or reduced pulling force from their V700 windlass should inspect and replace the driveshaft kit as part of preventive maintenance. This replacement kit is sold as an individual unit and is exclusively compatible with the Lewmar V700 windlass platform, making it the correct choice for owners seeking authentic parts and dependable offshore performance. Installation should follow Lewmar's technical documentation to ensure proper shaft alignment and motor coupling engagement.
