For sale: Almost brand new
Lofrans 1200W 12V
windlass motor for a Progress II
Windlass (Part 418a #LWP8251). May also fit other older
Lofrans models (uses a 3 point bolt on configuration).
It has only been in use for 3 months. We installed it because we thought it would help with a breaker tripping issue... It didn't because the actual problem was a corroded bearing. Unfortunately we weren't able to replace the bearing as the
rope drum and locknut had seized up on the shaft and the windlass literally had to be sawed in half to remove it from the
boat. So we're in for a new windlass and you can get a bargain on an almost new motor!
New cost from Lofrans is $1150 USD. We are currently in Darwin, AU. Can ship, but it's a heavy little beast and will probably be expensive. Will also be cruising
Indonesia and SE
Asia in the next 12 months, so could meet up if you're in the area.
