Lofrans Windlass Control Switch

Lofrans windlass control switches Type “C” (187338) and Type “L” (404728) are manual control inputs used to operate electric anchor windlasses. Type C is a watertight rocker switch supplied with a dedicated installation case, while Type L is a three-position cockpit control switch with Up-Off-Down functionality.

The Type C (187338) is designed as a compact rocker switch with a modern housing. It is supplied with a dedicated mounting case to simplify installation and improve sealing. The manufacturer describes it as watertight, but does not specify a numerical IP rating.

The Type L (404728) is designed for cockpit installation and consists of a fixing plaque and a three-position switch. It provides direct control of the windlass with Up / Off / Down positions.

Both switches are intended to interface with a windlass control system rather than switching motor load directly. The manufacturer does not publish voltage or contact ratings for these models.
