Before installation
Remember!
•
Make sure to have all necessary tools ready
•
Unpack and organize all components
•
Prepare and control the areas where all the different parts can be mounted.
•
Follow the mounting instructions
•
When winching the rope for the first time after mounting, make sure the rope is tight, so the rope is pulled inn cor-
rectly.
Placing the parts
You must plan the placement of the following parts:
•
Winch/motor
•
Brackets for anchor and windlass
•
Cables
•
Switch panel
•
Controlbox
•
Line guide
•
Main switch/ miniature circuit breaker
General
The windlass should be positioned as high as possible to al-
low maximum space for the rope that will be stored below the
windlass. The height from the bottom of the wall where the rope
is stored to the bottom edge of the line wheel should be at
least 50 cm, and the area should be at least 40 x 40 cm to allow
room for 50 m x 12 mm anchor rope. This will prevent the rope
from bunching under the windlass and assure sufficient friction
between the line wheel and the rope.
Note! Remember to attach the end of the rope somewhere
inside the boat.
Anchor bracket
Fit the windlass so that the rope is wound up in line with the
anchor bracket (see pictures 1 and 2) – a numerous different
models are available. The anchor bracket is working as a guide
for the rope when the anchor is on the seabed and as a “seating
point” for the anchor once it has been raised.
Use of anchor bracket
The bracket for the rope must be installed with the rollers out-
side the platform.
Standard platform roller or hinged platform
roller
If the windlass is fitted low in relation to the bathing platform,
so the angle between the bathing platform and the rope is too
small ,and if you are using a Bruce anchor, you should use an
Side-Power Engbo hinged platform roller.
Hull conduit / Line guide
It will often be necessary to install a hull conduit with a roller that
guides the rope with low friction through the hull.
Rope
Side-Power Engbo supplies original woven anchor rope with a
lead core . It is supplied in various lengths and dimensions.
Safety line
Once the anchor is seated in the anchor bracket, it must be
secured with the safety line supplied.
