Lewmar has introduced a 3-Button Windlass and 5-Button Windlass & Thruster remote control kit to its deck accessory range this season. Both controls are operated using wireless technology and are suitable for retrofitting to existing installations wherever a solenoid is installed.
Lewmar´s proprietary encryption scheme uses over 16 million individual codes to prevent false triggering from any other device or similar fob. Kits include a receiver(s) that supports up to eight remote key fobs (additional fobs are sold separately). The key fobs float and are waterproof to IP67.
"It´s important to move around the boat to gain the best vantage point when docking or moving an anchor," explains Simon Smith, Lewmar´s product manager for windlass. "These new wireless remote controls allow the owner or crew to operate the windlass or thruster from anywhere on the boat, without restriction."
Price for a 3-button windlass remote control kit from ?128 inc. VAT or €169 (ex VAT). The 5-button kit is priced at ?205 inc. VAT or €271 (ex VAT). (lewmar.com)
