Lewmar Electric Winch Automatic Speed

When you press the button, Lewmar Electric winches run in the 1st (fast) speed and will do so all the way up to full working load. The winch speed progressively decreases as the load increases so there is therefore no need to engage the 2nd (slower) speed of the winch, saving cost and unnecessary complication.

Lewmar Ocean Electric Winch Specifications

When installing a winch, Lewmar recommends the winch be mounted on a level surface and that the rope enters the drum at an angle of 5 to 10 degrees to the base axis of the winch. This angle can be achieved by using a base wedge when mounting the winch.

ELS vs E-Series Contactors

Pioneered by Lewmar, ELS electric winches are controlled by an Overload Protection Control Box, which allows the winch to be operated up to a set current relative to the working load limit of the specific winch. Once this current is exceeded, the winch automatically cuts out prior to the circuit breaker tripping. The ELS is simply reset by releasing the deck switch and the winch can be restarted. ELS is supplied as standard with EVO™ Electric winches sizes 55 and over, but can also be fitted with sizes 40-50 as an optional upgrade.

The E-Series contactor is supplied with the EVO™ Electric Winches sizes 40-50 and Ocean Electric Winches sizes 40-48. In the event of the winch being overloaded, the circuit breaker will trip and will need to be manually reset.

Both the E-Series and ELS contactors are equipped with a thermal trip to monitor the motor temperature, which ensures a cut-out if the heat builds up to an unacceptable level.
