Lewmar EVO Winches – Made to Last
Upffront.com

The range of Lewmar EVO winches is an evolution of their Ocean range which they claim is the most popular winch ever made. This is due to their widespread use by volume boat builders who prioritise ease of use / maintenance and reliability.


The Ocean range remains in the Lewmar catalogue primarily due to the large number of winches out there that require spare parts. According to Lewmar Sales Manager Adam Cockerill: “There are plenty of customers out there with 30-year-old winches which, with regular maintenance, are in perfect condition”.


However, for new winches, the range of Lewmar EVO winches combines updated styling, robust internal mechanics and a complete cross-section of products which spans plain top, self-tailing, cruise, race and full electric / hydraulic options.


Lewmar EVO Winches Key Features & Benefits


Simple Servicing

The key to the renowned longevity of Lewmar EVO winches is regular maintenance, which Adam Cockerill suggests should involve a full strip down at least once per year. At the heart of the winch design is the ability to service the winch with absolutely no tools, which means regularly checking and maintaining your winches is super easy.


Self-tailing Feeder arm

The integrated stainless steel feeder arm completely covers the top of the winch to prevent rope jams and can be orientated to smoothly feed the line into the cockpit.


Engineering excellence and quality

Lewmar have been doing this for a long time and their focus is on designing-in reliability and durability into all Lewmar EVO winches. They are so confident in the quality that they support them with a 7-year manufacturer warranty.
