Level-wind
fishing reels were
a welcomed invention.

Previously, the line
could become a
tangled mess.

If a boat’s anchor line becomes a mess like that, that can be more of a problem, and even dangerous.

Lewmar’s Captive Reel Windlass CRW400 is revolutionary for small boats, the company says.

The windlass features a level-wind mechanism that lays the anchor line, or the rode, neatly on the drum.

That also maximizes line stowage capacity.

The CRW400 is highly corrosion-resistant, the company says, so it’s suitable for saltwater.

The windlass features a window so the line-lay can be observed, without risk of trapping fingers or clothing.

Features also include a device that prevents paying out line when the line is slack, and more.

And you thought level-wind fishing reels were something.
