Francis Marine windlass

[Yachtsmyth]

Looking for help on this windlass. Anyone know anything about them? Google has not provided much information and ED @ Sams has been great but cannot find much out as well.

I think you may be searching the wrong terms.

I understand the manufacturer is Scottish company Simpson-Lawrence and the model is Francis. Lewmar bought the original company.

Although the SL company is now defunct, it still has some support in the UK or from P2 Marine in the US (similar to SAMs relationship with Hatteras).

Hope this helps,

(also, on eBay searching "Simpson Lawrence" will find you some spares)
