INSTALLATION/WIRING
INSTALLATION
A Be sure deck is clean and free of dirt and
grit.
B. Place template supplied (in owner's
manual) in desired location on deck. Be
sure the capstan side is properly posi
tioned. (See Fig. 1.)
C. Tape template in position to the deck.
D. Place windlass on template and check
location and alignment.
E. Put windlass aside and mark centers of
the holes on the template with a nail,
punch or marker.
F. Remove the template and drill the holes
where marked on the deck. (Two 7 /16"
holes for mounting bolts and one 5/8• hole
for motor leads.)
G. Place windlass in position. Be sure
lead wires are entirely through wiring
hole (518"). Attach windlass to deck using
3/8-16 stainless steel bolts. To determine
the length of the bolt to be used-add
thickness of the deck plus 1-112:· To
assure greatest strength, a backing plate is
recommended for reinforcement. (Marine
plywood, large diameter washers, etc.
under the deck.) Be sure to take into
consideration the reinforcement thick
ness in determining bolt length.
Figure 1.
NOTE: We recommend that you mount model
#502 on a platform (teak, mahogany, or fiber
glass) 1• to 1-1 /2" thick to provide more
space for the stripper.
WIRING
A With windlass installed in place, spot a
location for the footswitch installation. The
switch is a pressure sensitive switch and
should be mounted where you will be
comfortable standing while using your
windlass (usually on the stern side of
your windlass). Avoid placing the switch
in an area of heavy traffic.
B. Drill a 518" hole at the chosen location.
Install switch in place, screwing switch cap
as far as it can go. Go below deck and
tighten adjusting nut on switch.
C. Attach the busbar (P78121) to one side,
of the circuit breaker (P78106) using one
10-32 whiz lock nut (P79701 ). Connect
circuit breaker to the po) side of
the battery (See Figure 2).
