INSTALLATION
TOOLS REQUIRED:
1.
Electric Drill
2.
Drill Bit sized for mounting bolts
3.
Adjustable wrench
4.
Sockets and driver
MATERIALS REQUIRED
1.
Four sets of 5/16” (8mm) stainless steel bolts, washers, and lock-nuts. Bolt length may be determined by your
measuring your deck thickness and adding about 1.25” (30mm).
INSTALLING ANCHOR WINCH ON BOAT DECK
It is important that the anchor roller line up with the centerline of the rope spool for proper operation. To install follow these steps.
1.
Locate the winch on the boat deck directly in line and centered with the anchor roller. Winch spool must be centered
on the anchor roller.
2.
Look below deck and check for any obstruction to bolts or wire routing.
3.
Mark the winch mounting holes on the deck.
4.
Remove winch and drill four 5/16” (8mm) holes or (3/8” (10mm) holes for easier fit).
5.
Seal exposed deck material inside the hole with marine silicone sealant.
6.
Secure the winch to the deck using four bolts, nuts and washers. Consider using fender washers and/or marine
plywood under the deck to ensure the greatest strength and to spread the load.
7.
Consider routing of the battery wires through the deck. Locate and drill hole for battery wires. Seal hole with marine
silicone sealant or use suitable bulkhead fitting.
INSTALLING ANCHOR WINCH IN THE ANCHOR WELL
Identify where the winch and battery wire will be located. Follow steps 1-7 to install, substituting anchor well for the
deck location. If required, the Spool Cover may be removed. First remove the two cover screws, next grasp the cover near one of
the screw holes and flex the cover inward to release the cover from the frame side. Repeat on other side. Lift cover vertically away
from winch.
