Lewmar V700 Vertical Windlass - 12V

The Lewmar V700 Vertical Windlass - 12V is purpose-built for serious cruisers and boat owners who demand reliable anchor handling without the deck clutter. After decades on the water, you know that anchoring efficiency separates comfortable cruising from exhausting labor, especially in challenging conditions or when your boat sits in tight anchorages. This vertical windlass replaces manual hauling with one-button operation, transforming how you deploy and retrieve ground tackle across a wide range of vessel sizes.

Built from 100% 316 stainless steel housing, the V700 withstands saltwater corrosion and years of exposure without degradation—critical for long-term reliability in marine environments. The sleek flush-mount design hides the motor below deck, preserving your boat's clean aesthetic while delivering consistent pulling power. The 12V electrical system integrates seamlessly into standard marine battery banks, and the windlass operates silently at the push of a button, eliminating rope burns and back strain during anchor operations. Weighing just 20 lbs and measuring 8 x 6 x 15 inches, it fits compact anchor wells without sacrificing durability or performance.

This windlass suits cruising boats, day-use vessels, and liveaboards that prioritize reliability and convenience at anchor. Installation requires proper 12V wiring and deck penetration; consult your boat's electrical schematic and Lewmar documentation to ensure compatibility with existing power systems. Whether you're anchoring in crowded harbors, holding in strong current, or simply tired of manual labor, the V700 delivers the performance and durability serious boaters expect.
