Fitting Maxi 34-D
Example of an installation of
MAXI 34D into Joda 370
The Maxi 34-D is designed for horizontal installation on the
fore or aft deck.
NB
Make sure to fit the windlass correctly in relation to the
direction of rotation of the line wheel. (See sketch)
Start by locating the correct position for the windlass, so
that the direction of the rope is in line with the anchor
bracket. Then mark the centre of the windlass.
In most cases, it is simplest to use the windlass fixing
plate (see pos. 49 on the drawing on page 31) as a
template. Remove the white plastic cover and remove
the gypsies, rope guides and spring so that the fixing
plate is “clean”. Remove the six screws that hold the
fixing plate to the gear.
Place the fixing plate on the boat and mark the screw
holes, the centre hole for the gear, the hole for the auto
stop switch (on the front port side edge of the fixing
plate), and the run-through hole for the rope.
The simplest way to position the run-through hole for the
rope is to drill the fitting holes for the fixing plate and
then use a couple of screws to fasten this plate
temporarily to the boat. Put the plastic cover on and
mark the forward edge of the cover on the contact
surface. Use an appropriate hole-cutter and make sure
that the cover overlaps the outer edge of the hole by
around 5 mm.
Then make the holes with an appropriate drill and hole-
cutter. Remember to sand the upper aft edge and the
lower fore edge of the run-through hole for the rope, to
prevent the rope from catching on sharp edges.
Then screw the fixing plate firmly in place on the boat.
Remember to draw the auto stop switch from the front
port side hole of the fixing plate before screwing the gear
firmly in place. To prevent the rope becoming entangled
with the motor on the inside of the boat, fit the gear so
that the motor is pointing directly forward, facing the
port or starboard side.
Then fit the anchor bracket and check that the anchor
seats correctly on the rollers.
Fit the gypsies and covers, the rope guard, the rope
guide and the spring. Then fit the auto stop switch in the
hole in the rope guard and adjust it so that the sensor
face protrudes approx. 1 mm towards the rope.
Then pull the rope through the hole in the cover, run it
between the line wheel and the rope guide and down
below the deck. Finally, fasten the cover in place.
