Fitting Maxi 40
Example of a Maxi 40 fitted to a
sailing boat
The Maxi 40 is designed for fitting inside on the stern or on
the bow side of a vertical bulkhead. The Maxi 40 has the
line wheel on the left-hand side of the windlass, seen from
behind.
NB Make sure to fit the windlass correctly in relation to
the direction of rotation of the line wheel. (See sketch)
The drilling template (only applies to the Maxi 40) is
designed to lie on the outside of the hull when you
mark the holes. For marking inside, you must reverse
the template so that the holes in the template match
the windlass.
Make sure that the opening in the hull for the rope is
positioned correctly in relation to the direction the rope
takes out through the hull. To prevent unnecessary
wear, the rope should not touch the edge of the
opening either vertically or horizontally. The opening
should be oval (top to bottom) to accommodate the
vertical play in the rope when the windlass is used.
Position the template correctly, so that the line wheel is
on the correct side. Mark the position of the opening for
the rope and then drill the hole.
NB Make sure to position the windlass correctly in
relation to the rope and anchor bracket so that the
windlass line wheel and the roller are in line.
Once you have made the opening for the rope in the
stern, you can install the windlass.
Use a clamp or similar to fit the anchor bracket
temporarily to the outside of the boat.
Run the anchor rope tightly between the external
anchor bracket and the track of the windlass line wheel.
Hold the windlass in place inside the boat and adjust
the position so that the rope is led correctly through
the opening in the stern. Once you have found the
correct position, mark around the windlass fixing plate
before removing the windlass.
Place the drilling template so that it matches the mark
you drew on the stern, and mark the holes for the
fixing bolts. Use a 9 mm bit to drill the holes, and then
fit the windlass.
NB If you are to use a rope conduit with guide pulleys
(68-00008), you can use the internal frame of the
conduit as the template for the opening.
If necessary, use an intermediate panel between the
windlass and the hull to adjust the windlass in relation
to the direction of pull on the rope. After final
adjustment of the windlass position, tighten the bolts.
Run the rope via the line wheel on the windlass, down
through the rope/chain guide and under the line wheel.
Use the windlass to wind it up.
