INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Figure (i)
Locate the windlass centrally fore and aft. Check that the chain leads
unhindered to the anchor roller. The chain runs onto the starboard side of
the gypsy, wraps around 180° and falls below deck through the chain
pipe. Ensure there is sufficient room around the windlass to allow full
rotation of the manual/clutch handle (if supplied).
Figure (ii)
The centre height of the gypsy must be in the same plane as the chain
lead from the bow roller. If the deck is angled (fore & aft) or curved (port
to starboard) a suitably shaped mounting block will be required to spread
the load evenly over the deck surface and mount the windlass base on a
level and even footing.
Figure (iii)
Place the shaped mounting block (if required) onto the deck. Using the
layout template supplied, mark the mounting centres and drill the holes,
(Refer template).
Figure (iv)
The nylon insulation gasket supplied with your windlass must be fitted
between the deck (or mounting block if required) and the windlass base.
Apply an appropriate sealant to the nylon gasket (and mounting block if
required).
The nylon insulation gasket also acts to insulate between dis-similarity of
metals and helps avoid corrosion.
For aluminium or steel hull vessels, it is important to insulate the mounting
bolts, nuts and washers with a non-conductive gasket to avoid corrosion.
Apply Loctite 222 or equivalent to the threaded studs under the deck and
carefully tighten the nuts & washers. Remove excess sealer.
Where the deck construction is light or of foam sandwich construction, a
plywood stiffener of at least 16mm (5/8") thickness should be fitted to the
underside of the deck to spread the load and to prevent the bolts from
pulling through the deck. Large diameter washers on the underside of the
stiffener assists to spread the load.
Figure (v)
1. Mount the windlass from above as shown.
2. From below, apply Loctite 222 or equivalent and place washers and
nut on each stud and tighten.
Figure (vi)
3. Grease shaft, key, and gearbox hub, slide geardrive onto shaft ensuring
key is aligned. Rotate gearbox to prefered mounting position and push
further up into the base adaptor until retaining clip is locked securely in
the groove. (See installation diagram for Quick Fit Adaptor)
4. Apply Loctite 222 or equivalent and place washers and bolt in the end
of the shaft and tighten.
NOTE: On assembly, grease all moving parts with appropriate marine grade grease. The motor / gear drive
assembly should be protected with anti-corrosion film or grease tape.
