Seamless Integration Between Legacy & Modern Lewmar Systems
The Lewmar Legacy Converter is designed to bridge the gap between older (legacy) Lewmar windlass control systems and the latest Generation 2 electronics. It ensures full compatibility between existing onboard wiring and new Lewmar control components, making upgrades simple, cost-effective, and reliable.
Upgrade Without Rewiring
Instead of replacing entire wiring looms or control setups, the Legacy Converter allows boat owners to retain much of their original system while integrating modern features. This significantly reduces installation time, labour costs, and onboard disruption during a windlass upgrade.
Ensures Correct Signal Translation
The convertor provides proper communication between older controls or sensors and newer Gen 2 modules. It ensures that power-up signals, directional commands, and safety features work exactly as intended when mixing old and new hardware.
Marine-Grade Durability
Built with corrosion-resistant components, the Legacy Converter is designed for long-term reliability in the harsh marine environment. It withstands moisture, vibration, temperatures changes, and electrical load variations.
Ideal for Refits & System Modernisation
Perfect for vessels transitioning from earlier Lewmar windlass electronics to Gen 2 systems, the converter supports:
- Upgrading to new control pads
- Integrating updated chain counters
- Adding Gen 2 switch boxes or battery replacement
- Replacing legacy components without a full rewire
The Legacy Converter keeps your anchoring system future-ready without unnecessary modification.
