LEWMAR EVO® Electric Winch, 55EST, ELS-Series, Black

EVO^® Electric Winch Kits offer sail trimming at the push of a button for more relaxed and comfortable sailing.

Whatever sailing you do, short-handed or long-distance cruising, it’s easy to install electric winches or upgrade your existing winches with one of Lewmar’s conversion kits.

Complete Electric Winch Kits include ELS-Series controller, circuit breaker or fuse and deck switch. 

Electric Load Sensing

Pioneered by Lewmar, ELS (Electric Load Sensing) electric winches are controlled by an Overload Protection Control Box, allowing the winch to be operated up to the safe working load of the specific winch.

Once this load is exceeded, the winch automatically cuts out. Once the load is reduced to below the safe working load, the winch can be restarted. The ELS features the additional safety function of a Motor Thermal Trip, which ensures that the motor cuts out in the event of excessive heat buildup.

Key EVO Winch Features

• EVO^® Winches are an evolution of the renowned Lewmar Ocean Winch; They’re easy to service, with no tools required
• The integrated investment-cast stainless steel feeder arm completely covers the winch, and does not create a rope trap above the Wavespring jaws
• Directional arrows allow foolproof loading of the winch, a very helpful feature if you are sailing with an inexperienced crew
• The stripper position can be adjusted to smoothly feed the rope out of the jaws and into the cockpit
• Simple servicing: No tools are required to service a Lewmar EVO^® winch, simply unscrew the top cap with your fingers to remove the drum and provide access to the gear train
• If you try to put a Lewmar EVO^® winch together wrongly, it will become very clear that youve got it wrong; it is impossible to service the winch and put it back together incorrectly
• Seven-year warranty: With an aggressive in-house testing program, Lewmar backs EVO^® Winches up with a comprehensive seven-year warranty.
