Professional-Grade Vertical Windlass for Power and Sail
The Lewmar V4 Vertical Windlass delivers serious anchoring performance in a low-profile, stainless steel package. Designed for both power and sail boats, the V4 combines an elegant deck-level footprint with a robust internal drivetrain — giving you effortless anchor deployment and retrieval at the push of a button.
At the heart of the V4 is a worm gearbox and spline shaft drivetrain engineered for maximum strength and control under load. Whether you’re running rope-and-chain or all-chain rode, the V4 handles it smoothly and reliably. This 12V model ships complete with a 3/8" gypsy and everything needed for a full installation.

Parts Desk Insights
Best suited for mid-size power and sail boats where a vertical windlass is preferred over a horizontal unit — typically 35–55 ft vessels with moderate-to-heavy anchor rode requirements. The complete kit makes this a strong choice for new installations where the customer wants a single-box solution. Recommend the optional manual recovery kit as an add-on for offshore or bluewater customers. Confirm 12V electrical system compatibility and rode type (rope/chain or all-chain) before ordering.
