Chain and Gypsy Compatibility

The Royal LW250AN is sold with different gypsy configurations. Select the option that corresponds to the chain installed on the vessel rather than choosing only by nominal diameter. YachtAid Marine recommends confirming the chain size, link standard and matching gypsy before ordering a Lofrans windlass.

Before selecting a gypsy: Confirm the exact chain diameter and chain standard. When the specification is uncertain, contact YachtAid Marine before adding the product to your cart.

Installation and Selection Considerations

Before installation, compare the listed dimensions with the available deck area and review the dimensional drawing supplied on the product page.

• Verify that the available deck area accommodates the listed product dimensions.
• Confirm the exact chain size and chain standard.
• Select the corresponding gypsy option from the product selector.
• Review the brochure and dimensional drawing before drilling or modifying the deck.
• Confirm that the manual configuration is appropriate for the vessel and intended use.

Need Help Confirming the Correct Configuration?

Chain diameter alone may not be sufficient to confirm the correct gypsy. Provide YachtAid Marine with the product model, chain size, known chain standard and photographs of the existing anchoring arrangement before ordering.
