VERTICAL WINDLASS MANUAL
VOLUME ONE
2. Place the windlass on the deck and decide
upon a position for it with reference to
the vessel’s bow roller (Fig. 4.3-2) 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. 4.3-3). There must be
sufficient vertical fall for the chain or rope,
even with a full locker, to draw the rode
from the gypsy when hauling in.
3. Place the mounting template on the deck
or mounting pad in the desired position
for the windlass and hold it in place using
adhesive tape.
NOTE: Check the scale of the template
matches the winch.

4.3 Fitting The Windlass to the Deck
1. If the deck is not flat, 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
5/16" (8 mm) threaded mounting studs
supplied suit deck and packing
thickness of up to 1 1/4
"
(35 mm) for
Pacific 600/900 and up to 2
"
(50 mm) for
Pacific 1000/1500. These are adequate for
most installations.
