word of warning:

Having been told that there have been some windlass breakages installed by the yard on 400's, and that Lewmar are replacing these without a wink, i would recommend to double check with your dealer what the series at fault is, as it is the axis that shears off in 2.

my dealer has taken down the model and serial number last WE on my 411 (#244), to check it out with Lewmar.

Better safe than sorry
