Lewmar Windlass Control Solenoid - 12V

The Lewmar Windlass Control Solenoid – 12V is a dual-direction solenoid designed to manage anchor windlass operation on boats equipped with Lewmar Pro Series and Pro Sport anchor systems. This 12VDC solenoid handles the electrical switching required to drive the windlass motor in both up and down directions, making it essential for reliable anchor deployment and retrieval in marine environments where consistent, responsive control is critical.

Operating at a nominal voltage of 12 VDC, this solenoid is engineered to interface with existing Lewmar windlass control panels and wiring harnesses. The compact form factor—measuring 3 inches in height and depth with a 1-inch width—allows for discrete installation in tight helm compartments or below-deck electrical enclosures. At 0.7 pounds, the unit is lightweight enough for easy mounting without requiring reinforced brackets. The bi-directional design eliminates the need for separate up and down solenoids, reducing system complexity while maintaining the precision control required for safe anchoring operations.

This solenoid is compatible with Lewmar Pro Sport, Pro Series and Pro Fish 700, Pro Series and Pro Fish 1000, and V700 windlass models. It serves boat owners, commercial fishing operators, and marine facility managers who rely on automated anchor systems for consistent holding capability. Whether operating from a dash-mounted control switch or integrated marine automation system, the solenoid ensures that operator commands translate reliably into motor actuation without hesitation or drift. Sold as an individual unit, it functions as either a direct replacement for a failed solenoid or as a spare component for redundancy in critical anchoring systems.
