Installing the Lewmar 7m Gen2 Control Cable is straightforward for DIY-savvy boat owners. Start by disconnecting power to avoid shorts, then carefully route the cable from your control panel to the windlass motor, securing it with clips to prevent chafing.

Why Boaters Choose This Cable
Beyond basic connectivity, it offers superior shielding against electrical interference from nearby engines or radios, ensuring glitch-free operation.

Long-Term Care for Peak Performance
To keep your cable in top shape, inspect it annually for frays or kinks, especially at high-flex points. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure and store your boat under cover when possible.
