Manufacturers of the Worlds Finest Anchoring Systems
DLC - Drum Anchor Winch Digital Line Counter
Lone Star Marine are proud to debut the DLC, the Worlds First Digital Line Counter made specifically for drum style anchoring systems. The DLC features a bright 3 button Oled display & is easily retrofittable to all drum winch makes & models with no drilling or removal of a previously fitted winch required.
Windlass line counters are relatively straightforward as the capstan size is always the same, length of line retrieved per revolution is also always the same. Drum winch diameters however change with every rpm as the overall diameter is constantly shifting depending on how much rode is on or off the drum. Rope diameter and drum width also play a part in drop and retrieval speed and rate at which the drum will fill or empty.
The DLC's unique algorithm takes into account drum width, diameter, shaft size, rope diameter, & overall rode length to give extremely accurate readings across all drum and line sizes. Simply enter the diameter and length of rope and chain on your drum and the DLC will take care of the rest. This is by far the smartest product LSM have every developed and we couldn't be happier with the result.
*Auto Retrieve Function (DLC+)
*Pre-loaded with all LSM drum sizes
*Other drum sizes can be loaded in 'custom' field
*Can be fitted to any brand, make, or model of drum winch (except actuator driven varieties)
*Perfectly calculates for any rope/chain length & diameters across all drum sizes
*Includes retrofitting kit with no drilling of the cradle or flanges required
*Only requires 2mm gap between drum flange and cradle *Distance can be set to ft, meters, or fathoms
*Sensor is 316 stainless steel
*12mm IP67 plugs & facia
*Can be installed as a counter only (DLC), or you can run your winch via DLC with an additional solenoid driver (DLC+)
*5m sensor extension leads are available (DLC-EL)
*Removal of previously fitted winch not required for installation *91mm x 73mm facia requires 2 x 5mm and 1 x 25mm hole for installation
*DLC includes facia, sensor with 5m lead, and all required mounting hardware
*DLC+ Includes everything with the DLC plus solenoid driver

How to get one??
Send us an email at sales@lonestarmarine.com.au, we’ll get it organised for you.
Old reply but GX2 now on my boat. Solid bit of kit.
Heck Yeah thank you
Where can I purchase one in NZ?
Perfect explanation, thanks. Will be installing the GX1 to my boat this weekend.
Thank You!
glad I didn't buy a stressfree.
What does it tie into ?
Drum Anchor Winches www.lonestarmarine.com.au
@@LoneStarMarineWinch so the switch and breaker?
@@akusa3894 just the solenoid
Once it's installed and calibrated correctly with the rope and chain data, what's the accuracy?
@@tomclaridge8583 great question. Once fine tuned to suit your rode (which is super easy), and provided the winch has been used at least a few times so the rope is pre-stretched and packed tightly, you can expect less than a meter variance. If, for example, you are getting 1m over or under repeatedly, you just add or subtract 1m of rope length in your settings. This will bring it back to 0. This is how you fine tune the settings. There were no outliers, ect. Its all perfectly repeatable & accurate once dialled in. There is also a ‘set to zero’ function that resets the spool to full, so say you do a retrieval & it says you are .3 of a meter over or under, rest to zero before the next drop.
Thank You!
Once again you have made the best on the market. That's Fishing TV 👍
20ft boat how much
You can find our dealer locator on our website www.lonestarmarine.com.au/retailers/
Forget the loctite, safety wire the pin ,.o22 stainless air Taft lock wire. Never come undone, glue you can never trust with that much money hanging off it. Replace swivel hex head with proud bolt head drilled for lock wire. Forget that glue. It breaks down, dude
BEST THING EVER..... wish I brought it years ago
Thank you!
great marketing, answering questions straight up. Well done.
Thank You!
Best anchoring system on the market. Easy install. Very happy with mine. Very happy with the help I got from the distributor Hammer Marine out of Texas.
Brad thank you very much!
Nicely explained
Beast of a unit...
Absolutely!
looks good. i love my gx2!
Thank You!
Get a broom with a hanger on top. Slide the chain guard on the broom all bunched up. Attach a zip tie to chain and broom and slide the chain guard off the broom onto the chain. JOB DONE
Ive just ordered a GX1 for my boat after recomendations from other boat owners. I have a technical question i'm hoping you can answer. With a worm and wheel type gearbox a thrust load is generated onto the worm gear shaft. I'm wanting to know which end of the shaft has the better thust protection? I can then load the spool the right direction to maximise gearbox life. Thanks in advance, Simon
Hi Simon, the difference is minimal, they can be loaded form either direction. More important is the fleet angle, you want that as wide as possible. In other words, avoid 90% bends in the direction of the rode coming onto the drum. This usually means loading the rope and chain over the top.
I read many users prefer to use electric trolling motors with spot lock over drum anchor winches. What are the advantages of the Lonestar anchor winch over the electric trolling motor with spot lock for anchoring?
Good question. Obviously electric motors are battery and weather dependent. I have one as well, very handy for covering ground when lure fishing. Using one as an anchor in calm conditions is fine, however in any sort of wind or swell an anchor & winch are the better option. Also with an anchor winch you are not drawing any power while at anchor.
@@LoneStarMarineWinch Thank you. Why are TM's the less option in wind and swell - even with an extra long leg? What length of rope and anchor is comfortably required when fishing at depths of 40m (with a LSM GX3 unit)?
@@Camh1968 wind/tide/swell will all have your TM working hard which will reduce overall run time. If you are only dropping in on spots for a short time you may be fine. If you are fishing a tide you may not. The GX3 has several rope & chain options from 100m to 300m drum capacity.
Is there an optimal height and distance from the curved roller to the drum please?
Hi Neil In regards to height not really, just high enough so the rode doesn’t interfere with the hatch lid, internal lip, ect. Distance-the more the better. Obviously you will be limited by your top deck design.
Have been researching which winch i should purchase and some of the comments on here from lone star are a direct reason I wouldn't buy from them 👎
Thats ok, not everyone is supposed to have nice things.
So if you have been researching properly, why on earth would you not want to buy the best and most reliable winch on the market?
@@juzlewis426 obviously the researching being done is not being done properly... But then again, some people can't handle the truth... Each to their own mate....
Soft cock 🤣
Bloody beautiful looking bowsprits and anchors. Also good stuff being Aussie made - good on ya! Cheers.
Thank You Peter!
bet he goes back to old school.......old dawgs don't do new tricks very well.
Been running it fo r4 years now
Can i change(rotate) the angle of the motor? Awkward cable well on my boat.
Yes there are 8 main positions, each with 3 micro adjustments. So 24 total positions.
@@LoneStarMarineWinch Thank you. Thats fantastic. Now ill make a mockup case and see how it goes. Some photos show motor sticking up out of the well.
Thanks MTS for providing this comprehensive Winch test. It would be great to see this again with current (2022) winches on the market, but I think everyone can clearly see the winner. It's made my decision that much easier. Thank you again!
Years after this vid was made. Never the less... Thinking of getting the GX1. But i need to build a model to make sure it fits. How cool would it be if your company had such models. Even for a modest fee. Mine might be a tight fit.
Does the negative cable to the solenoid has to be connected directly to the battery? Can it be just connected to the boat cabin/ body? I have an aluminium boat and the body is always negative.
Yes connect neg to the battery not your boat.
Great info, I just watched the torture test and was going to get a Savwinch but now will be getting a Lonestar gx2.
Nice
Can you do a video on how to turn the motor glans please
Paolo that is an excellent suggestion, we certianly will do one for that in our next segment run.
Great to see a fantastic Aussie made product, quality vs cheap imported products.
Thanks man!
Cool ,nice shirt
So great video. Good Job
I have purchased the GX 2 and using Dyneema rope, what knot do you recommend to attach to the Topshot braid that comes with the kit
Hi Brian, the dyneema has an eyelet on the inside of the spool. So tie the end you can see to the drum, spool it on, then use the D shackle supplied to connect to the topshot.
Cant argue with workshop testing in conrtolled conditions on performance - cheers
Thank You Mike, agreed 👍
Installed a GX2HD on my 2019 Raider 250 Offshore. Easiest install I have ever done. Outstanding product. I didn’t have the luxury of this video but I bought my winch from John at Hammer Marine out of Texas. He was a wealth of information
Awesome Brad! Thank you for your business & kind words I’ll pass them onto John.
Greetings from Alaska. I'll be installing a GX5 in the next week nice to have these tips of the trade style videos to use. Looking forward to uploading a video of the winch in action soon.
Awesome Creig! We are looking forward to seeing it.
This video sold me on a GX2! Any chance on getting a Mud Magnet anchor over to Steve at SV Panope for some independent testing? It would be awesome to see how the MMX fits into his data catalogue. Also he is pretty close to Hammer Marine. ua-cam.com/video/frqzLTRhjTU/v-deo.html
We would absolutely love to have Steve review our MMX!
Chyna free zone 100% buy it right the first time own it forever.
Thank you 🙏 for sharing your knowledge ⛵️🌟 Forever best wishes
An excellent presentation. Thanks for taking the time. Way better than these nuts presentation which amounted to nothing and showed their stupidity. ua-cam.com/video/-ou0EsoLP24/v-deo.html
Lonstar I think you guys should watch this video and possibly sponsor some winches to them ? I think the Lonstar GX2 would be more than strong enough ? ua-cam.com/video/ChYNY0xTMAE/v-deo.html
LSM 💯👍🏼👌🏼🇦🇺
Seems like to me that having to hold the button the whole time will be very inconvenient
They have a wireless remote & can do that from anywhere on the boat.
Yes , I know that but I am talking about how you have to hold the button down the entire time the anchor is moving o
@@NatalieMishoe much more convenient than running the rope through a hydraulic winch or by hand.
I get what you saying and agree, the system is pretty cool. I think I am not explaining myself very well
Why I bet he only uses it maybe 1 or 2 every other year ,
Hey how you doing my name is Robert Keever and I like to know how much it is for a one day trip catch the big bluefin
Dave you are so lucky to have your kids helping out, in today’s world that’s almost impossible. As far as the show yes we loose our temper but when it comes to encouragement I learn from you
in EUROPE where to buy
DANG....whats this private install cost? Guess, its all TV money
Hi Capt Dave, not as much as you might think. Get in touch with the guys at www.hammermarine.com if you are interested 👍
Just purchased a GX3 today! Hailing from Alaska
Awesome! We appreciate your business Chris enjoy
@@LoneStarMarineWinch as an end user in the environment I fish in. I wholeheartedly appreciate a quality product that’s priced as fairly as Lone Star!! Keep up the good work
Great idea, quieter is always better. One little tip. When you are cutting the tie wraps pull firmly on the tag end putting a little stretch in it. Then make the cut with a flush cutter. That will eliminate that sharp tag end that I guarantee will find a way to cut your hand later.
