Windlass
The following directions do not replace the instructions provided in the manufacturer’s use
and maintenance manual, delivered separately.
•
The Grand Soleil 45’ is equipped with an electrical windlass without drum, with a 1000 watts
12 Vdc motor and a gypsy for a 8 mm chain.
•
The windlass is installed on a suitable surface in the fore peak, while the underlying motor is
accessible by the opening in the fore bulkhead of the shipowner’s cabin. This arrangement
protects the motor from sea water and salinity, allowing it to last more and to need minimum
maintenance. In the same motor room there is also a box with the windlass remote control
switches.
•
The yacht is also equipped with a lever which, inserted in the gypsy cover bush, allows you to
manually drop the anchor by the gypsy clutch mechanism.
•
To start the windlass turn on the WINDLASS switch in the 12 Vdc electrical panel (see page
50)
Warning:
the upward and downward movement of the windlass is controlled by the push-
buttons panel, which must be plugged into the watertight outlet provided.
•
The push-button control panel usually hangs from a hook in the anchor peak, whereas the
watertight outlet is located on the same surface of the windlass, but a little bit more to the right
of it.
•
The windlass can also be operated from the cockpit, by a lever switch located in the
engine control panel, beside the panel light switch.
•
In the wide peak below there is the chain with its stainless steel chain guide and a chain end
anchorage fitting.
Windlass instructions
With the anchor well positioned on the beam and the chain in the right position in its guide,
you can both drop the anchor manually or by the windlass.
To drop the anchor manually you need to:
•
check that the WINDLASS magneto-thermal switch in the 12 Vdc electrical
panel is turned off;
•
insert the suitable lever in the gypsy cover bush. Then, slightly rotating the lever
counter-clockwise, you will release the gypsy clutch allowing it to freely turn
and the anchor to drop. By rotating the lever clockwise you will re-engage the
gypsy clutch, slowing down or stopping the anchor drop.
