My boat came without the wrench to loosen/tighten the gypsy clutch. It has a strange star type hole that I haven't seen before (unless it's just a monstrously huge Torx). Any ideas on where to locate a replacement? Or is it just a huge Torx?
My windlass is the same make, different model. The tool you're after is the same as a crank handle used on a sailbloat winch. Borrow one from a ragbagger in your marina to test for fit/function.It looks like this.
Carlos, I believe that I have an extra new wrench here. I'll try to see if I can find where I may have put it.
If I do, were can compare dimensions.

That would be great. I'll take my calipers to the marina today.
Oh yes, I am on the boat from today until Monday.
Carlos, when I picked up my boat (new) I looked high and low for mine, couldnt find it. Called Lewmar, gave them the model no., they sent one out the next day. Give them a try, cant hurt to ask.

That "strange star type hole" is really a series of square holes offset by 45 degrees.
Or it really is a star shape as a result of it's Momma having too many square boyfriends.
You need to consider all angles, Mike!

Lesson: Always check the batteries in your digital calipers before leaving civilization.
I measured with a tape, and came up with 11/16" from flat to flat, and just under 1" for point to point. So it sounds like the one you have will work, Rick. If you can confirm the size from flat to flat that would be great. How much?
It's yours for the shipping, Carlos...... just pay it forward!
I think that I can ship it for $75! :kidding

Carlos, shortly after 5-25-2012, or so, I sent the gypsy wrench out to you.
I haven't heard back as to whether or not you received it.
