Fitting Maxi 34-G
The Maxi 34-G is designed for fitting vertically on a
longitudinal bulkhead with the line wheel outside and the
windlass itself inside. The Maxi 34-G is available with the line
wheel on the right or left-hand side of the windlass, as seen
from the rear.
NB Make sure to fit the windlass correctly in relation to the
direction of rotation of the line wheel. (See sketch)
Place the enclosed template on the surface where the
winch is to be fitted – ideally as high up as possible – and
mark the drilling holes.
Alternatively, you can use the windlass fixing plate (See
the drawing on page 30, pos. 49) as a template. If you
choose to do so, remove the white plastic cover and take
off the gypsies and spring so that the fixing plate is free
of fitted parts. Remove the six screws that hold the fixing
plate to the gear.
Place the fixing plate on the surface where the windlass
is to be fitted and mark the screw holes, the centre hole
for the gear, the hole for the auto stop switch (on the
lower stern side edge of the fixing plate), and the run-
through hole for the rope. The simplest way to position
the run-through hole for the rope is to drill the fitting
holes for the fixing plate and then use a couple of screws
to fasten this plate temporarily to the boat. Position the
plastic cover, make sure that the cover overlaps the hole
by approx. 5 mm at the bottom, and then mark the lower
edge of the cover on the fitting surface. Then make the
holes with an appropriate drill and hole-cutter.
Remember to round off the outside upper edge and the
inside lower fore edge of the run-through hole to prevent
the rope from catching on sharp edges.
Then fasten the fixing plate to the boat. Remember to
draw the auto stop switch from the lower stern side hole
of the fixing plate before fitting the gear. To prevent the
rope becoming entangled with the motor on the inside of
the boat, fit the gear so that the motor is pointing
directly forward, facing slightly up or slightly down.
Then fit the anchor bracket and check that the anchor
seats correctly on the rollers.
Fit the gypsies and covers, the rope guard, the rope
guide and the spring (pos 52, 54 and 58, page 31). Then
fit the auto stop switch in the hole in the rope guard and
adjust it so that the reciprocal part sticks approx. 1 mm
out from the outside of the bracket, towards the rope.
Then pull the rope through the hole in the cover and run
it between the line wheel and the rope guide.
