Preventing override
To prevent override, the line must be guided onto the winch at an angle of approximately 5-10° to the
horizontal plane, as shown in the figure below:
To achieve the correct angle, installing a block or sheet lead to divert the sheet or halyard to the winch may
be necessary. Please visit www.seldenmast.com to browse our selection of suitable deck hardware.
Failing to lead the rope onto the winch at recommended angle as seen in figure above may
lead to winch failure which may lead to fatal injuries or damages to the boat or equipment.
5-10°
