DELIVERY AND RETURN INFO

Lewmar Legacy Converter Molex

The Lewmar Legacy Converter allows older Lewmar windlass systems to work seamlessly with modern Gen 2 controls and electronics. Designed for easy integration without rewiring, it ensures correct signal translation, improved reliability, and smooth operation when upgrading legacy windlass setups.

Features:

Seamless Integration Between Legacy & Modern Lewmar Systems

The Lewmar Legacy Converter is designed to bridge the gap between older (legacy) Lewmar windlass control systems and the latest Generation 2 electronics. It ensures full compatibility between existing onboard wiring and new Lewmar control components, making upgrades simple, cost-effective, and reliable.

Upgrade Without Rewiring

Instead of replacing entire wiring looms or control setups, the Legacy Converter allows boat owners to retain much of their original system while integrating modern features. This significantly reduces installation time, labour costs, and onboard disruption during a windlass upgrade.

Ensures Correct Signal Translation

The convertor provides proper communication between older controls or sensors and newer Gen 2 modules. It ensures that power-up signals, directional commands, and safety features work exactly as intended when mixing old and new hardware.

Marine-Grade Durability

Built with corrosion-resistant components, the Legacy Converter is designed for long-term reliability in the harsh marine environment. It withstands moisture, vibration, temperatures changes, and electrical load variations.

Ideal for Refits & System Modernisation

Perfect for vessels transitioning from earlier Lewmar windlass electronics to Gen 2 systems, the converter supports:

  • Upgrading to new control pads
  • Integrating updated chain counters
  • Adding Gen 2 switch boxes or battery replacement
  • Replacing legacy components without a full rewire
