1. Place mounting template in desired
position on deck and secure with tape
into position. Ensure center-line of
gypsy lines up with centerline of davit
or bow roller.
IMPORTANT: Be certain anchor winch is
positioned above rope locker before drilling
any mounting holes. The anchor line and
chain will feed into rope locker through a
2 1/2” hole in boat deck and a molded part
called the rode glide. Minimum rope locker
dimensions required for proper storage of
anchor lines are shown in Chart 1.
2. Using a punch, mark center of each
mounting hole to be drilled. Remove
template and drill holes with an electric
drill. There are three 11/32” holes for
mounting studs, one 2 1/2 ” hole for
deck insert, and one 5/8” hole for wiring
harness.
3. Place round side of insert into 2 1/2”
hole and seat deck insert so lip is flush
with boat deck. The half circle portion
of deck insert must be pointing toward
bow of boat.
4. Insert three mounting studs into
threaded holes on underside of the
windlass. A small amount of thread
locker can be used to secure studs
in housing. Use two mounting nuts
to help tighten studs into housing as
shown in Figure 2.
5. Gently guide winch over rode glide so
loop on windlass housing slides over
deck insert. Slide three mounting studs
into the three mounting holes in deck.
Feed wiring harness from underside of
winch through 5/8” hole.
6. The windlass must fit squarely over
deck insert and onto deck. Slide
flat washers and lock washers onto
mounting studs. Tighten nuts to fully
secure the winch to the deck.
7. Examine windlass to make sure unit is
securely fastened and that centerline of
gypsy is aligned with centerline of bow
roller or davit.
Do not
use electrical wire sizes or types
other than those specified or
included with this product.
