3. Installation
Use only genuine Lewmar parts and accessories to ensure top performance and eliminate the risk of voiding
your warranty.
Gypsies fitted to the CPX range of windlasses are ideally suited to handling our factory made Rope/Chain
combination rodes, which consist of rope spliced to a chain tail. See Specifications section for details.
Ropes used must be windlass grade, medium lay nylon. Ropes from different manufacturers have wide variations
in stretch and consistency in diameter. Therefore, rope and chain from other manufacturers may require some
experimentation to determine the optimum size.
Should you have difficulty in matching a gypsy to your chain please consult your local agent or our international
network of distributors.
