SNUBBING WINCHES
Snubbing winches (75) as shown in Figure 14. & Figure 19 make the handling of
the working jib much easier in heavier winds, especially for a light-weight crew.
They are also essential for spinnaker handling in anything but light winds.
Gibb Snubbing Winches (75) shown in Figure 14. & Figure 19 are now supplied as
standard equipment. When installed at the factory, they are placed 12"
outboard from the edge of the main companionway hatch coaming instead of
19" as shown in Figure 19..
If not already fitted to your Tanzer 22, they may be installed as follows
1. Remove the camb action jamb cleats or clam cleats presently installed.
2. The screw holes. should be plugged and the Gelcoat refinished as
outlined in the section dealing with Gelcoat repairs;
3. Disassemble each winch by removing the top retaining screw that is at
the bottom of the handle socket. The drum and socket casting should be
lifted together and removed from the base. When removing the winch
drum take care not to lose the pawls and springs in the base plate.
4. The winch bases should be fastened to the winch shelf on either side of
the main companionway as shown with the self tapping screws provided.
A 1 1/2" thick mahogany plank is located under each shelf to provide
reinforcement and to obviate the need for through bolting.
5. If your boat is fitted with lifelines, or if you plan to fit these in the future, the
winch bases should be placed inboard of the position shown so that there
is sufficient clearance between the handrail to permit a winch handle to
be used if required.
6. Reassemble winches.
7. Install clam cleats (79) on bulkhead as shown with the screws provided.
8. The fiberglass winch platforms on the cabin top were not molded into the
decks of early models of the Tanzer 22. For such boats, teak pads are
available from the factory. These should be fastened in position before
the winches are installed.
BOW PULPIT, LIFELINES & STERN RAIL
Figs 13 and 13A show the position in which the stanchion bases should be
installed. All bases should be through bolted and all holes caulked. Those bolts
visible below decks should be finished with cap nuts. The vinyl covered lifelines
will require to be cut to length and crimped with a nicropress swaging tool.
