Ahoy again,

So it appears the original Windlass (either a Tigres or Lewmar) on the 440 ('96) needs to be replaced. Would someone know the wattage and voltage for the windlass?

Thank you,

Hello Again,

I originally reached out to help ID the Windlass and Dan responded that it was a Lofrans Tigres. I am not so sure that is what I have so I am including a photo. It looks more like a Lions model. Does anyone have similar and can provide documentation? Thanks for reading.

on our Bene we had a Lofrans also but the label with the specs on it had long ago peeled off

any idea of the capstan chain specs or motor power?  possibly something like 750W maybe ?

Thanks Mark, from what I read  it was at least a 1000W unit. Survey on boat listed a lewmar windlass, but without the label I am not confident in that either.

It would appear not me to be Lewmar who acquired  Simpson Lawrence. 

I looks like a Simpson Lawrence

Thanks Fletch, I think you nailed it. 

After searching Mark, it does appear to be a Horizon. 

I knew you guys would come through for me! Much appreciated.
