4.6 Above deck fitting
Using the template and after you have checked all the above and below deck requirements cut the following
holes:
Using a 10mm (3/8”) diameter drill bit, make the three holes for the mounting studs and two for the motor
cables. With a 76mm (3”) diameter hole saw, make one hole for the rode to pass through.
1. When all the holes have been made, remove the template. To help avoid water absorption by the deck, apply
an appropriate marine sealant to the freshly cut hole edges.
2. Assemble and tighten studs into base until they bottom out in their holes. Studs have a flat for spanner loca-
tion. Position the flats of the studs nearest the base of the windlass.
3. Place the base mat in position on the deck. Optionally, apply a suitable sealant to the base of the windlass,
any mounting pad or around the studs.
