Lewmar PRO-Fish 700 Windlass Maintenance Crooked PilotHouse boat 

Hi Capt... this is THE best Lewmar video on RU-vid!.... I've always thought my older brother is the smartest guy on the earth. (I hope he doesn't see this)... but you have just now moved in to Numero Uno! .... Thank you for all the great information you have shared with us all!

Nice to see proper preventative maintenance being performed. Well done, Captain!

The way you take care of your boat, it will last you FOREVER! I admire people who take care of their stuff. That's also a sign of good character by the way! Good job!

I just bought a boat with the same windlass and yesterday I was thinking about trying to find a video showing how to do maintenance on it, great job capturing!!!! RU-vid would only let me give you one thumbs up or I would have given more....

The 2120 I just bought has the same windlass. I will definitely follow this procedure before the spring season starts. Thank you

Thanks a million for your video . I was having a problem with my windlass and after watching your video I was able to fix the problem .

Serviced my windlass today thanks to you and this video! Much thanks!

Because of you I have now started maintenance on my boat. Until now it was only petrol and oil top up :( Thanks capt for inspiring me!

Great video Capt. You inspired me to get a boat. Got a Defiance San Juan 220 on order. Will post a video and give your channel a shoutout when I get it.

...gettin' every thing ready for the next trip out on the deep. great info, keep safe skipper..

hi captain very good video its highly recommended to use a brush to apply the grease and gloves for skin protection. navigate safe

Good job Capt Crooked I’m going to imply that info to mine when I get one thanks JT 🇺🇸🇺🇸🐠🐟🎣🛥🌴⛱😊😊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Nice job! You always make it look so easy! Thanks for sharing!

Nice job captain. You take excellent care of your boat and she will take care of you

I have an old Horizon 400 that looks similar. Going to give it a try. Never service the windlass before and I'm in saltwater too

Greeting from 6:18 Jakarta time....Nice to saw it Capt ..marine grease and sealant without plastic glove .Lol....keep maintenance while this Pandemic bring us Quality time in RU-vid...Thanks capt

Great video! Your boat is looking great! I’m hoping to add a pulpit and windlass to my classic whaler.. cheers!

Good afternoon Capt, have you thought about an All Chain Anchor Line? Just because you anchor a lot near reefs and lines could be cut. Good to see your video’s and hope to see you and your wife enjoying the open ocean soon?

Just what I needed. Thank you.

Hi, Cap I 'll see U on the water !!!

Have you checked or done a video on the other side? Mine is the exact same model and same age with a lot less time. I serviced everything on the right, but I noticed it binding up after greasing when I tried to do a free fall. My issue turned out to be a nut on the left side had backed off and jammed up. Ruined a thrust bearing and washer. Locked up the whole thing. Not related to what I did…. Definitely worth checking.

Great stuff Capt!

Excellent idea Cap-I will have a look at my unit and do the same.its a very different model but the concept must be very similar. The other thing you can/should do to extend its life is ALWAYS( we have had this discussion before) cleat off your rode when you are at anchor.It removes the unnecessary stress on the Windlass.

eso capt mantenimiento las cosas expuestas al salitre tiene que hacerce mantenimiento👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks i love your how to videos keep them coming

Thanks Captain. Great video and informative. I ordered the same brand of windlass but I think it's a different model. Mine will be under the anchor locker lid with a through hull design. Im hoping it will be as easy as yours was to maintain.

Can the speed the windlass pulls up the anchor be adjusted? Mine is pulling up the anchor so fast it jetzons the anchor when the anchor breaches the water. Pops the anchor up so high its almost dangerous.

Thanks for the vid Just what I was looking for

How deep is your anchor locker how much fall do you have between the windlass in the bottom?

What is that recessed dimple on the cover for. Mine is protruding and I am sure it is not supposed to be that way.

Great instructions on the windlass Capt! Any suggestions when the cap is frozen and doesn’t unscrew? Never maintained…😔

Muy educativo o instructivo 👍 exelente Capi 🦈🐟🐬🇩🇴👍👍

Mine wont go up or down. I’m thinking it may be an electrical problem because I release the clutch on it and it rolls freely when I pull out the chain or manually pull it up…

When I lost my anchor I loosened that gypsy or clutch to get some stuck rope from the wheel... i tightened it back up (not the bolt just the clutch wheel) should that be somewhat loose? Tight? How do you know how to adjust? And one last question, it won’t come off unless you remove that middle bolt right? Gracias capitán!

Im waiting for you to come so we can catch some lobsters!! 😂 🏊‍♂️

I plan on doing this next! Have you ever filled your bennet trim tab reservoir? It's come to my attention that fluid needs to be added but I can't seem to find where parker puts that reservoir.

Tool sizes would help. Good info otherwise.

hi captain, do you have your windlass on power down on purpose? i noticed that it never free falls when u release the anchor, that little plunger on the gypsy, if its pushed in it locks the gypsy so the spool will never freefall, on the side of the gypsy theres a little button type thing if u pull on that the plunger will pop out, then when u press down on the switch the plunger prevents the gypsy from turning then separates from the spool and allowing the spool to freespool, i have the same windlass love your videos make me feel like im there

Thanks for this video. Im in the process of buying a boat and they are offering this model to me vs the old way of manual drop and pull. I have some reservations as there were a number of bad reviews on this model but maybe their problem is a maintenance issue. Have you had any issues with this model of anchor?

Do you only use chain or do you also have rope? Also is this 12v?

Hello Captain... did install the windless?
