Why This Winch Elevates Your Sailing Experience

With dual gear ratios, the 45ST EVO delivers rapid line retrieval in first gear for quick maneuvers, then taps into high-torque second gear for battling stiff breezes. The impressive SWL handles genoa sheets on boats up to 50 feet, while its compact footprint fits neatly on crowded decks. Sailors praise its smooth ratchet sound and ergonomic handle feel, reducing fatigue on long watches. In real-world testing, it outperforms older models in wet conditions, thanks to advanced drum texturing that prevents line slip.

Pro Tips for Longevity and Peak Performance

Rinse with fresh water after every sail to flush salt crystals from the mechanism.
Lubricate pawls sparingly with marine grease—avoid overdoing it to prevent grit buildup.
Inspect jaws monthly; replace if wear exceeds 20% for safety.
For self-tailing, feed line at a 10-15 degree angle to the jaws for optimal grip.
Pair with low-stretch Dyneema or polyester lines within spec for buttery-smooth operation.

These simple habits ensure your winch remains as responsive as the day it was installed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the self-tailing feature on the Lewmar 45ST EVO winch different from standard winches?

The self-tailing jaws automatically grip and hold the line, freeing your trailing hand for handle cranking or sheet adjustments. This enables single-handed operation, unlike basic winches that require constant tension with both hands.

Is this winch suitable for boats of different sizes?

Yes, with a 2646 lbs SWL, it's ideal for mid-to-large yachts up to around 50 feet, handling primary sheets for genoas or spinnakers effectively.

How do I service the winch without tools?

Simply lift the end cap, remove the drum, and the jaws/spring assembly slides out. Rinse, dry, and reassemble—takes under 5 minutes.

Can I convert this winch to electric?

Absolutely. The EVO design includes mounting points and internals compatible with Lewmar's electric conversion kits, making the upgrade straightforward.

What rope sizes work best with this winch?

It accommodates lines from 0.32\" to 0.55\" (8-14mm). Opt for 10-12mm for most applications to balance speed and grip.

Does the black alloy finish hold up in marine environments?

The anodized black aluminum is highly corrosion-resistant, shrugging off UV exposure and saltwater better than chrome alternatives.

How does the two-speed gearing work in practice?

First gear (2.4:1) offers fast line pull for easing sheets. Switch to second (7.6:1) via the handle for powerful winching against load—no buttons or levers needed.
