Lewmar Venta Pontoon Anchor Winch – 12V Electric
Anchoring a pontoon boat just got a whole lot easier. The Lewmar Venta is a 12V electric anchor winch designed specifically for pontoon boats, mounting out of sight on the underside of the bow — so there's no clutter on deck, no muddy rope to deal with, and no manual hauling. A foot-operated deck switch lets you deploy and retrieve your anchor without leaving your seat or bending over the rail. With 220 lbs of maximum pull and compatibility with plow-style anchors, the Venta holds confidently in sand and mud bottoms where fluke anchors can struggle.
Key Features
- Undermount design — installs beneath the pontoon deck to keep the bow clear and clutter-free
- Foot-operated deck switch for hands-free, one-touch anchor deployment and retrieval
- 850W motor with 220 lb maximum pull capacity
- 88 lb ground tackle capacity
- IP66 waterproof rated — built for exposure to spray and wash-down
- Compatible with plow-style anchors for superior holding in sand and mud
- Optional aluminum mounting plate (Lewmar 65004971) simplifies installation on most pontoon frames

- Pontoon boats requiring an undermount electric anchor winch

Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: The Venta is the go-to recommendation for pontoon boat owners who want the convenience of electric anchoring without giving up bow deck space. The undermount design is the key selling point — it's purpose-built for pontoons where deck real estate is limited and aesthetics matter. If a customer is anchoring in sand or mud and wants a clean setup, this is the right call.
Anchor Compatibility: The Venta is designed for plow-style anchors. If a customer is using a fluke or Danforth-style anchor, confirm compatibility before recommending — plow anchors provide better holding in soft bottoms, which is the primary use environment for this winch.
Mounting Plate: The optional aluminum mounting plate (Lewmar 65004971) is worth adding to the order for most customers — it significantly simplifies installation and is a common add-on. Recommend it proactively.
Bow Roller: Pair with the Lewmar Pontoon Bow Roller or Extending Bow Roller depending on the customer's bow width. These are frequently overlooked but essential for proper rode management.
