Hose For reliable operation and safety reasons, it is essential
Types to use the correct bore size of hose. To reduce pressure
drops in hose runs greater than 5 - 7 m it is
recommended a larger hose size is used.
The recommended hose bore sizes with their flow
requirements are given below.
Model Motor Flow Min
(Ltr / min) Bore Size
3500 80 cc/Rev Up to 20 1/2"
Up to 40 3/4 "
Note: (a) 3.78 litres
≈
1 US Gallon
4.54 litres
≈
1 Imperial Gallon
(b) It is important that the correct hose
specification is used as this affects the
efficiency of the hydraulic motor and the
performance of the windlass.
IMPORTANT
Drain To obtain optimum shaft life a case drain line must be
Line fitted.
Min drain line bore diameter: 6mm (1/4")
Safe working pressure : 18 Bar (250 psi)
All drain lines should if possible be connected to the
reservoir separately.
Hydraulic The Lewmar Anchor Windlass hydraulic motors accept
Fittings the following fittings :
