Simpson Lawrance Francis 2000 Specs and Manual

[H/V Vega]

Have a Simpson Lawrence Francis 2000 we are trying to convert to hydraulic and need a bit of advice also does anyone have the specs for the electric motor that was in these? A manual would be a god send. I like these old SL winches as they were made in the days before the company was sucked into the "Cheapest for the Mostest" system. They were very popular with medium size fishing boats for years. Nice and solid well built. Maybe that was why Lewmar bought them out. So there would be one less to compare their stuff to. In any case any help appreciated and happy sailing.

Hi Vega,

A web search reveals the following link to a manual online:

We have the same windlass. The manual is pretty sparse, but it does show the motor, but not the specs for the motor.
