2.2 PREPARATION OF MOUNTING AREA
Ensure the deck is flat, if not; a plinth (A) will be required to ensure the windlass sits on a flat surface.
It is imperative that the deck and under-deck pad (not supplied) are of sufficient thickness and structural
strength to support the loads imposed on or by the windlass.
An under-deck pad should spread the load as widely as possible.
Make sure that the area of deck between the windlass and the bow roller is clear of obstructions.
The bow roller should have a central groove suitable for the chain size. Use a chain guide if necessary to
prevent the chain from running against the deckplate and potentially causing damage to the windlass.
2.3 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Use the Deck Cutout Details drawing, as a guide for marking and cutting the holes.
Tip : On GRP boats, running the drill in reverse first will reduce chipping of the gel coat.
Using hole saws, cut the holes for the spacer tube and rope/chain pipe.
On GRP or wooden decks, seal the edges of the holes with epoxy to avoid ingress of moisture.
Place the gasket onto the deck. Use of sealant, to seal the windlass to the deck, is recommended
Note: For installations where the deckplate is to be mounted directly to aluminium we recommend the windlass,
studs, nuts, washers and chain are fully insulated from the aluminium.
1. Bolt the deckplate to the deck using mounting studs washers and nuts. Tighten the nuts progressively and
evenly. Do NOT use power tools. Make sure the installation is firm, but do not over tighten the nuts.
2. Offer up, from below deck, the drive assembly sliding the mainshaft through the deckplate, taking care not to
damage the deck bearing.
3. After aligning them correctly, bolt the deckplate and spacer tube together, from above deck, using the M10
hex head screws and spring washers. Tighten them evenly to 35-40 Nm (25-30 ft lb). Make sure the
installation is firm, but do not over tighten the nuts.
4. Re-check that the position of the drive assembly is satisfactory and convenient for connecting power supply
lines to the motor. Also, make sure that the drive is not in the way of rope/chain coming into the locker.
5. If a chain counter is used, its sensor should be fitted into the Ø15mm hole in the deckplate, currently covered
with a plastic plug. Make sure the deck is drilled below for the sensor cable. See brochure supplied with
chain counter or detailed assembly instructions.
6. Insert the two retaining clips into the upper groove in the mainshaft; apply some grease to help keep them in
position.
7. Apply anti-seize compound generously over the mainshaft and keyway. Insert key into the keyway on the
mainshaft.
