Hi Capt... this is THE best Lewmar video on TH-cam!.... I've always thought my older brother is the smartest guy on the earth. (I hope he doesn't see this)... but you have just now moved in to Numero Uno! .... Thank you for all the great information you have shared with us all!
LOL Captain thank you so much for the great compliment I tried to do my best to explain my videos so my viewers enjoy it and coming from you that is awesome👍👍😉⛵
The way you take care of your boat, it will last you FOREVER! I admire people who take care of their stuff. That's also a sign of good character by the way! Good job!
@@OutOnTheReef You value your boat and that's great! Not that objects can feel but I always believe that if you treat your belongings well and take care of them, you will enjoy them more... Or maybe it's just me -:)
I just bought a boat with the same windlass and yesterday I was thinking about trying to find a video showing how to do maintenance on it, great job capturing!!!! TH-cam would only let me give you one thumbs up or I would have given more....
Great video Capt. You inspired me to get a boat. Got a Defiance San Juan 220 on order. Will post a video and give your channel a shoutout when I get it.
Yes please let me know and will love to see you start your Channel Once you started with your boat captain Please let me know when you upload the first video and that body looking at is an awesome boat I seen it before, I'm happy for you
Greeting from 6:18 Jakarta time....Nice to saw it Capt ..marine grease and sealant without plastic glove .Lol....keep maintenance while this Pandemic bring us Quality time in TH-cam...Thanks capt
Can the speed the windlass pulls up the anchor be adjusted? Mine is pulling up the anchor so fast it jetzons the anchor when the anchor breaches the water. Pops the anchor up so high its almost dangerous.
Have you checked or done a video on the other side? Mine is the exact same model and same age with a lot less time. I serviced everything on the right, but I noticed it binding up after greasing when I tried to do a free fall. My issue turned out to be a nut on the left side had backed off and jammed up. Ruined a thrust bearing and washer. Locked up the whole thing. Not related to what I did…. Definitely worth checking.
@@OutOnTheReef I never used it either, but I tried it one time right before I greased it. When the Gypsy came around and hit the button that pops out to release it to make it free fall, everything stopped. The gypsy was too tight I guess, so that may have been the issue. I don’t think I will try it again. There are several areas on the left side, needle bearings especially that should probably be greased occasionally.
@@OutOnTheReef Thanks Capt. This is my 4th year with the boat and I don't know if it was serviced before me. My boat is a 2005 and it looks original. I rarely use it, but being around saltwater will damage it just the same. Love your vids and Navigate Safely!
You will love it Captain is an awesome investment. I never had it in my other boats and now that have it on this one it makes a huge difference. Have a great night and navigate safe captain👍⚓⚓
I plan on doing this next! Have you ever filled your bennet trim tab reservoir? It's come to my attention that fluid needs to be added but I can't seem to find where parker puts that reservoir.
@@p3teytran I find that they are better by being electric because I had Hydraulics and they're always blowing up the houses this one's have no maintenance that I know of and last longer captain
@@p3teytran awesome captain I'm glad everything went successful and you save some money by doing it yourself and next time you know how to do it again captain congratulations👍👍
When I lost my anchor I loosened that gypsy or clutch to get some stuck rope from the wheel... i tightened it back up (not the bolt just the clutch wheel) should that be somewhat loose? Tight? How do you know how to adjust? And one last question, it won’t come off unless you remove that middle bolt right? Gracias capitán!
Just off my head I don't remember Captain I have to look at the video back but you can tighten it . The problem with our boat is that the anchor Locker is slanted so when the Rope comes in egesa bundo so you have to move that bundle back and again another bundle and you have to push it back like for me when I'm fishing at 200 to 300 ft I have to go to the Anchor locker and rearrange the Rope as is coming in about 3 times. And sometimes it gets stuck it's just a bad design on the anchor Locker for being slanted
hi captain, do you have your windlass on power down on purpose? i noticed that it never free falls when u release the anchor, that little plunger on the gypsy, if its pushed in it locks the gypsy so the spool will never freefall, on the side of the gypsy theres a little button type thing if u pull on that the plunger will pop out, then when u press down on the switch the plunger prevents the gypsy from turning then separates from the spool and allowing the spool to freespool, i have the same windlass love your videos make me feel like im there
Thanks buddy I really appreciate you watching my channel and I don't have it on free fall because I usually don't anchor that deep usually I anchor only and it's only in 10' of water so the free fall mechanism is not needed ,so I always use it that way But thanks for explaining that to me, I knew about it but some people don't know about it👍👍⚓⚓🛥
Mine wont go up or down. I’m thinking it may be an electrical problem because I release the clutch on it and it rolls freely when I pull out the chain or manually pull it up…
What happened to me once is the Breaker has cables you must have a breaker on the boat check out the terminals a few nights up determinals if you are not getting power
Good afternoon Capt, have you thought about an All Chain Anchor Line? Just because you anchor a lot near reefs and lines could be cut. Good to see your video’s and hope to see you and your wife enjoying the open ocean soon?
Yes I thought about all chain but it's so heavy and I'm overweight already on my boat and thank you for watching our videos captain. Have a great evening you and your family
Thanks Captain. Great video and informative. I ordered the same brand of windlass but I think it's a different model. Mine will be under the anchor locker lid with a through hull design. Im hoping it will be as easy as yours was to maintain.
Thanks for this video. Im in the process of buying a boat and they are offering this model to me vs the old way of manual drop and pull. I have some reservations as there were a number of bad reviews on this model but maybe their problem is a maintenance issue. Have you had any issues with this model of anchor?
Excellent idea Cap-I will have a look at my unit and do the same.its a very different model but the concept must be very similar. The other thing you can/should do to extend its life is ALWAYS( we have had this discussion before) cleat off your rode when you are at anchor.It removes the unnecessary stress on the Windlass.

The 2120 I just bought has the same windlass. I will definitely follow this procedure before the spring season starts. Thank you
Yes this is a great maintenance and grease it up and make sure is water tight to prevent corrosion, is a awesome windlass cap you will enjoy it 👍🏝⚓

Nice job! You always make it look so easy! Thanks for sharing!
hi captain very good video its highly recommended to use a brush to apply the grease and gloves for skin protection. navigate safe
Thanks for the info cap ,and yes gloves i just forgot, good looking out cap.
Just what I needed. Thank you.
Anytime cap thanks for watching
Thanks i love your how to videos keep them coming
thanks Cap. im glad you like it 👍
Can the speed the windlass pulls up the anchor be adjusted? Mine is pulling up the anchor so fast it jetzons the anchor when the anchor breaches the water. Pops the anchor up so high its almost dangerous.
No cap. There is no way to ajust that , mine is the same but im just to it 👍🛳

Well, captain, sorry to hear that, but in my case, I do not use the free fall I don't like the way it runs.
@@OutOnTheReef I never used it either, but I tried it one time right before I greased it.

I don’t think I will try it again. There are several areas on the left side, needle bearings especially that should probably be greased occasionally.
@@masdbo Very true captain. I will look into it to see how I can do that appreciate your comment.
I have an old Horizon 400 that looks similar. Going to give it a try. Never service the windlass before and I'm in saltwater too
wow i hope is good shape cap, windlass are recommended to be maintenance at least once a year
@@OutOnTheReef Thanks Capt. This is my 4th year with the boat and I don't know if it was serviced before me. My boat is a 2005 and it looks original. I rarely use it, but being around saltwater will damage it just the same. Love your vids and Navigate Safely!
How deep is your anchor locker how much fall do you have between the windlass in the bottom?
Probably about 2 1/2 feet and 309 feet of rope
Great video! Your boat is looking great! I’m hoping to add a pulpit and windlass to my classic whaler.. cheers!
You will love it Captain is an awesome investment.
I never had it in my other boats and now that have it on this one it makes a huge difference.
Have a great night and navigate safe captain👍⚓⚓
What is that recessed dimple on the cover for. Mine is protruding and I am sure it is not supposed to be that way.
This windlass have free fall sytems and that pin i think is for that use cap. But i dont use it that way
Great stuff Capt!
Thanks cap😉👍
eso capt mantenimiento las cosas expuestas al salitre tiene que hacerce mantenimiento👍👍👍👍👍👍
Si muy sierto la sal se lo come todo
Saludos cap. 👍🏝⛵✌
I plan on doing this next! Have you ever filled your bennet trim tab reservoir? It's come to my attention that fluid needs to be added but I can't seem to find where parker puts that reservoir.
they don't need oil they are electric trim tabs not hydraulic but if there is a way to oil them please let me know cap.
@@OutOnTheReef you are right captain, others have confirmed ours are electric
@@p3teytran I find that they are better by being electric because I had Hydraulics and they're always blowing up the houses this one's have no maintenance that I know of and last longer captain
Just finished this service today, and it went well. Thanks again cap!
@@p3teytran awesome captain I'm glad everything went successful and you save some money by doing it yourself and next time you know how to do it again captain congratulations👍👍
Great instructions on the windlass Capt! Any suggestions when the cap is frozen and doesn’t unscrew? Never maintained…😔
I'm sorry captain but I have no clue but thank you for watching my video if I can help with any other way let me know.
Going for a bigger ratchet 😅
@@siestabynoon2627 lol w-40 cap🤣
I’ve got it and finished up! Thank you Capt!

Good job Capt Crooked I’m going to imply that info to mine when I get one thanks JT 🇺🇸🇺🇸🐠🐟🎣🛥🌴⛱😊😊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Awesome you'll love it once you get one you never go back to handling by hand the anchor

your welcome
i never thought of that, i might try it that way when i anchor shallow, thanks
love your boat
@@CaptainRRExcursions thanms buddy and yes on the shallow waters is more control of the rope and chani scope try it 😉

Hi, Cap I 'll see U on the water !!!
Yes Captain see you out there
Muy educativo o instructivo 👍 exelente Capi 🦈🐟🐬🇩🇴👍👍
saludos y gracias cap.😉👍
Thanks Captain.
Great video and informative.
I ordered the same brand of windlass but I think it's a different model. Mine will be under the anchor locker lid with a through hull design. Im hoping it will be as easy as yours was to maintain.
That is awesome you're going to love it and hopefully you can get maintenance done easy on it👍
Thanks for the vid Just what I was looking for
Glad I could help, navigate safe cap.
Do you only use chain or do you also have rope? Also is this 12v?
Yes it's a combination of 10 ft chain and then rope and yes it is a 12-volt system captain
Hello Captain... did install the windless?
Hello Captain know the Windlass came with a boat already installed from Factory
Thanks for this video. Im in the process of buying a boat and they are offering this model to me vs the old way of manual drop and pull. I have some reservations as there were a number of bad reviews on this model but maybe their problem is a maintenance issue. Have you had any issues with this model of anchor?
No it's been great one time is stopped working but it was the breaker off the power source but it's not the windlass fault, i love mine 👍👍⚓
Excellent idea Cap-I will have a look at my unit and do the same.its a very different model but the concept must be very similar.
The other thing you can/should do to extend its life is ALWAYS( we have had this discussion before) cleat off your rode when you are at anchor.It removes the unnecessary stress on the Windlass.
awsome i dea Cap. i just forget all the time, i need to remind my self, good liking out captain😉👍
Tool sizes would help. Good info otherwise.
Sorry cap. And thanks for watching 👍
Im waiting for you to come so we can catch some lobsters!! 😂 🏊♂️
LOL as soon as I can Captain👍👍🏝⛵
