Ocean Series One- & Two-Speed Self-Tailing Winches
Smooth, efficient and easy to use ensures snag-free operation.
Advanced technology and innovative features have made Ocean Series the world’s most popular winches. Racing sailors appreciate the smooth operation and flawless performance. Cruising sailors can benefit from Lewmar’s race-bred engineering and simple tool-free maintenance.
Lewmar uses the finest materials. A massive, all-bronze, one-piece center stem supports stainless steel main shafts and gear spindles that lend exceptional strength. Bronze gear trains deliver smooth power; high-tensile bronze gears are machine-cut to very high tolerances. The rigid, one-piece nylon cage with snap-in stainless steel bearings and integral grease pocket for permanent lubrication and free-running bearings assure you the winch will not seize up under any operating load.
Fewer moving parts means fewer problems and simpler maintenance. Assisted by a screw-on cap and strip-from-the-top construction, Lewmar winches can be easily and completely disassembled by the consumer without removing the winch from the boat. A highly efficient feeder arm design produces minimum friction and ensures absolutely snag-free operation. Ocean’s unique grip pattern makes rope handling easy—easier still with a self-tailing model, which incorporates Lewmar’s Wavespring feature, a combination of the gentle Wavegrip and self-adjusting springs to handle today’s smaller diameter ropes.

Ocean Series One- & Two-Speed Self-Tailing Winches
We strongly recommend self-tailing winches for all applications. Ocean's Wavespring jaw and advanced drive mechanisms make these the most advanced self-tailing winches in the world. The Wavespring jaws are spring loaded so they automatically adjust to different sized lines, from heavy jib sheets to light-air spinnaker sheets. Convertible models can be used manually and upgraded to electric, push-button operation by simply installing a power drive unit. Motor and switch gear (sold separately or available as a complete package). Available with chrome on bronze drums for all rigging materials or aluminum drums for line.
