EVO Self-Tailing

An evolution of the renowned Lewmar Ocean winch, the EVO® Self-Tailing Winch draws on a wealth of design and manufacturing experience to produce a state-of-the-art product. With a wide choice of sizes and styles, there is a versatile EVO® for any style or application.

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.

Multiple Styles and Finishes 

EVO® winches are available in black or grey alloy and chrome bronze for the cruising sailor. Manual winches feature single speed or two speed, while size 40 to size 80 are available with electric or hydraulic operation.

Wave Spring Jaw and Feeder Arm

The integrated, investment-cast, stainless steel feeder arm completely covers the top of the winch, preventing a rope trap above the Wavespring jaws. The feeder arm position can be adjusted to smoothly feed the rope out of the jaws and into the cockpit.

Engineering Excellence

For Lewmar customers, there is no such thing as “just a winch”. That’s because inside every winch you will find materials developed over many years, designed using the latest techniques, and machined using CNC equipment. When Lewmar machine the winches they are looking for the maximum in efficiency, durability, and strength to weight ratio.

Electric Winches (40 and above)

Whatever sailing you do, short handed or long distance cruising, the decision to install electric winches or upgrade your existing winches with one of Lewmar's conversion kits is simple.

7-Year Warranty

Lewmar are so confident about the quality of the EVO® winch range that they are supporting it with a 7-year warranty. 

Technical Advice - When installing a winch, Lewmar recommends the winch must be mounted on a flat surface and that the rope enters the drum at an angle of 5° to 10° to the base axis of the winch. This angle can be achieved by using a base wedge when mounting the winch.
