It is very important to choose the correct type of rope and chain,
to ensure proper running of the windlass.
Rope
- Must use three strand, medium-lay. We recommend Filament
Polyester, Premium Nylon
Do not use soft rope
. Soft rope (either
polyester or nylon ) will slip and cause a rope jam in the gypsy. It will
also lock the gypsy and cause circuit breaker to pop-up often.
Chain
- Must ensure that the distance between every other link “d” is
suitable for the gypsy. Please refer to the chart below
.
