Fitting Maxi 34-V
The Maxi 34-V for vertical installation on a bulkhead is an
alternative to the Maxi 40 for situations in which it is best
to have the line wheel on the SB side of the windlass.
The Maxi 34-V is available with the line wheel on the right
or left-hand side of the windlass, as seen from the rear. In
principle, the Maxi 34-V is fitted in the same way as the
Maxi 40.
NB Make sure to fit the windlass correctly in relation to
the direction of rotation of the line wheel. (See sketch)
It is important 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.
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.
Make sure to position the windlass correctly in relation
to the anchor bracket so that the windlass line wheel
and the anchor 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.
Use the windlass fixing bracket as the template to
mark the fixing holes.
Hold the windlass in place inside the boat and adjust
the position so that the rope is led correctly through
the hole in the stern. Once you have found the correct
position, mark around the windlass fixing plate and the
hole in same before removing the windlass.
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.
