Lewmar Pro Sport 550 12V, 1/4″ Gypsy

A low-profile above-deck gypsy gives theLewmar Pro-Sport 550a compact 12V anchor-rode configuration for runabouts and fishing skiffs. The 320W motor has a stated maximum pull of 550 lbs and a 140 lbs continuous working-load rating. Its high-strength composite center and anodized marine aluminum casing form the listed housing.

The gypsy accepts 1/4 in DIN 766, ISO 4565, BBB, or HT chain with 1/2 in three-strand rope. A free-fall control system includes an emergency manual override. The provided product data does not confirm an anchor, rode, switch, contactor, or circuit breaker as included.

Which Boats This Windlass Fits

The Pro-Sport 550 horizontal windlass is recommended for runabouts and fishing skiffs up to 28 ft. Its gypsy must match both the listed 1/4 in chain standard and 1/2 in three-strand rope. Boat owners should confirm the full rope-to-chain combination rather than choosing chain by diameter alone.

The 550 lbs figure represents the listed maximum pull rating. The 140 lbs working-load rating provides the separate continuous hauling value. The continuous figure should guide normal retrieval assessment.

Care and Operating Notes

Rinse the housing, gypsy, chain, and rope with fresh water after saltwater exposure. Remove salt, sand, mud, and debris from the rope-to-chain transition and free-fall system before operation. Inspect chain links, rope condition, clutch movement, manual override access, visible fasteners, and electrical connections before departure. Follow the manufacturer manual for lubricant selection, service intervals, disassembly, and approved replacement parts.

Warranty and Support

The Pro-Sport 550 carries a 3-year limited manufacturer warranty. The provided warranty term does not define coverage for labor, corrosion, electrical accessories, shipping, or other components. These terms reflect manufacturer-stated coverage, and buyers should verify active warranty policies directly with the seller or manufacturer prior to purchase.

Before Ordering

Confirm that your anchor rode combines 1/4 in DIN 766, ISO 4565, BBB, or HT chain with 1/2 in three-strand rope. You should compare your boat with the up-to-28-ft application guide and reserve space for the 146 mm by 203 mm housing. Verify that your boat uses a 12V system with the required 25A circuit breaker. Confirm controls, contactor, circuit protection, anchor, chain, and rope with the seller because the provided product data does not confirm them as included.
