Frequently Asked Questions
Some of our most common questionsYes. Lewmar recommends that when mooring, the rode is attached to a suitable strong point. If using a rope / chain rode then the rope should be tied off to a cleat or suitable strong point. If using a chain only rode then a chain stopper should be used. If the load is left on the windlass during mooring, shock loads could lead to damage of rode or the windlass. With rope rodes left under load in the gypsy the rope can get jammed into the gypsy causing damage to the stripper & rode when next operated. There is also a risk that the clutch nut could come loose causing the boat to slip its mooring.
Yes, all of Lewmar's high volume ranges of products take rope and chain in the gypsy. The gypsies are design to take a range of chains and ropes without the need to remove the rope or chain from the gypsy during recovery. This means you can use a spliced rode effortlessly, reducing both weight and cost of the rode. Check the rope/chain chart in the windlass section of the catalogue or your windlass manual for the correct rope/chain and gypsy match.
Lewmar recommends a premium quality, windlass grade, medium lay, 3-strand nylon rope or a premium multi-plait nylon anchor rode. There are many different rode applications based upon windlass, anchor size, rode length and the anchor locker's depth and volume.
Lewmar strongly advises the use of a safety lanyard to secure your anchor while it is stowed in the roller, particularly when underway and on the plane. This essential precaution helps prevent accidental anchor deployment caused by a windlass malfunction or a slipping gypsy clutch, which could result in serious personal injury or damage to your vessel.
Ensure the lanyard's eye bolt is positioned parallel to the chain, with no slack in the cable:
Please note: An Anchor Safety Lanyard is also commonly referred to as a safety strap or safety strop.
