TESTING
1.
Remove existing rope.
2.
Thread new rope through front opening in base (18) and then through rope guide (45).
3.
Tie one double knot in new rope approximately ten-inches from end of rope as shown in diagram on previous page.
4.
Thread end of new rope through spool as shown in the diagram and tie a secure knot in end of rope.
FUNCTION TEST
1.
With attached anchor hanging over edge of boat, depress and hold the “UP” portion of the rocker control switch. Anchor
should retract into the base on DH- 25R. Release control switch when anchor is fully seated in base.
2.
Depress the “DOWN” portion of the rocker control switch (When depressed, the switch will stay in the “DOWN position
untill manually placed in the “OFF position). Anchor should lower automatically. Gear motor will shut off when anchor
comes in contact with ground surface.
3.
With control switch still in “DOWN” position, pull on rope. Rope should automatically feed out. This is your electronic anti-
drag system.
4.
Place control switch in “OFF” position with anchor still on ground and repeat pull test. Rope should not feed out. The
control switch must be placed in the “OFF” position to prevent rope feed when anchored.
5.
If your DeckHand does not operate properly through function test, recheck wire connections to insure proper hook-up. If
your DeckHand operates properly through function test, replace cover and cover screws.
ROPE REPLACEMENT AND
INSTALLATION
Spool and rope assemblies may be pur-
chased direct from Minn Kota or autho-
rized Minn Kota Service Centers. Should
you decide to replace your own rope, it
is recommended to use a 3/16” diameter
diamond braid polyester or nylon rope.
Secure knot
Double knot tied
approximately 10” from
the end of the rope
