General
Please read before installing and operating your
Windlass.
Classifi cation Societies and Lewmar require that a vessel at
anchor must have its rode held by a chain stopper or equivalent
strong point at all times!
At all times it is the responsibility of the boat user to ensure
that the anchor and rode are properly stowed for the prevailing
sea conditions. This is particularly important with high-speed
powerboats, because an anchor accidentally deploying while
under way can cause considerable damage. An anchor windlass
is mounted in the most exposed position on a vessel and is thus
subject to severe atmospheric attack resulting in a possibility of
corrosion in excess of that experienced with most other items of
deck equipment. As the windlass may only be used infrequently,
the risk of corrosion is further increased. It is essential that the
windlass is regularly examined, operated and given any necessary
maintenance.
Please ensure that you thoroughly understand the operation
and safety requirements of the windlass before commencing
the installation. Only persons who are completely familiar with
the controls and those who have been fully made aware of the
correct use of the windlass should be allowed to use it. If there is
any doubt of how to install or operate this unit please seek advice
from a suitably qualifi ed engineer.
• Windlasses used incorrectly could cause harm to equipment
or crew.
• Windlasses should be used with care and treated with
respect.
•
Sailing, like many other sports can be hazardous. Even the
correct selection, maintenance and use of proper equipment
cannot eliminate the potential for danger, serious injury or
death.
•
Lewmar windlasses are designed and supplied for anchor
control in marine applications and are to be used in conjunction
with any other use.
• It is the unavoidable responsibility of the owner or master or
other responsible party to assess the risk of any operation on
the vessel.
Safety notices
1. Installation
Warning!
This is a warning against anything which may cause injury to people
if the warning is ignored. You are informed about what you must
or must not do in order to reduce the risk of injury to yourself and
others.
Safety Symbol
When you see the safety symbol it means: “Do not...”; “Do not do
this”; or “Do not let this happen”.
• Lewmar recommends the use of appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment and hands free communication
equipment by any person going aloft, and only then where
the person going aloft is properly trained in the use of that
equipment and where there remain suffi cient trained and
experienced personnel on deck to ensure constant observation
and the continued safe conduct both of the vessel and the
hoisting operation.
Fitting
• This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance
with the instructions contained in this manual. Failure to do
so could result in poor product performance, personal injury
and/or damage to your boat.
• Consult the boat manufacturer if you have any doubt about
the strength or suitability of the mounting location.
Electrical
• Make sure you have switched off the power before you start
installing this product.
• If in doubt about installing electrical equipment please seek
advice from a suitably qualifi ed electrical engineer.
Electromagnetic compatibility
• It is essential that this product does not cause any
electromagnetic disturbance to any other electrical or
electronic equipment installed in the vessel. This will be
achieved if the windlass is connected to the same battery as
the vessel’s starter motor and not to the service battery to
which other equipment is connected. In addition, the run of
the wiring, from the battery to the windlass, should be kept
as far apart from the other wiring on the vessel as possible.
For instance, if the main wiring loom is to starboard, fi t the
windlass wiring to port.
It should be noted that there is no evidence to indicate that
windlass installations do cause magnetic interference but the
installer is advised to carry out checks when the installation
is complete.
1.1 Gypsy suitability
Gypsies fi tted to the Pro-Series range of windlasses are ideally
suited to handling our factory made Rope/Chain combination
rodes, which consist of rope spliced to a chain tail.
Ropes used must be windlass grade, medium lay nylon. Ropes
from different manufacturers have wide variations in stretch and
consistency in diameter. Therefore, rope and chain from other
manufacturers may require some experimentation to determine
the optimum size.
Should you have diffi culty in matching a gypsy to your chain
please consult your local agent or our international network of
Lewmar distributors worldwide.

1.6 Fitting the windlass to the deck
• If the deck is not fl at, a suitable mounting pad may be required
to take up camber or sheer.
Decks that are thin, or of foam or balsa laminate construction,
will require reinforcement in order to spread the loads that
will be applied to the deck while the windlass is in use.
The standard 8 mm ( 5 /
16
”) threaded mounting studs supplied
suit deck and packing thickness of up to 76 mm (3”). These
are adequate for most installations.
Fig. 1.6-1
• Place the windlass on the deck and decide upon a position for
it with reference to the vessel’s bow roller (Fig. 1.6-2) and the
chain locker below. Rode lead from the roller should ideally
be fed horizontally back to the top of the gypsy and along its
centerline (Fig. 1.6-3).
There must be suffi cient vertical fall for the chain or rope,
even with a full locker, to draw the rode from the gypsy when
hauling in.
