Fitting Maxi 34-S
The Maxi 34-S is intended for vertical installation on a
vertical longitudinal bulkhead. It is an alternative to the
Maxi 34-G if you prefer to fit the entire windlass unit
inside your boat. The Maxi 34-S is available with the
line wheel on the right or left-hand side of the windlass,
as seen from the rear.
The windlass bracket is fitted to the bulkhead and the
rope is led out via a rope conduit.
NB Make sure to fit the windlass correctly in
relation to the direction of rotation of the line wheel.
(See sketch)
Make sure that the opening to lead the rope through
the hull is positioned correctly in relation to the
direction of the rope. 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 play in
the rope roller when the windlass is used.
NB Make sure to position the windlass correctly in
relation to the rope roller 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. Run the anchor
rope tightly between the rope roller on the bathing
platform and the track in the line wheel. Hold the
windlass in position inside. This makes it easier to
establish where the windlass is to be placed to
ensure that the rope sits correctly in the opening in
the stern. Once you have found the correct position,
mark it in accordance with the windlass fixing plate.
Then remove the windlass and drill the required
holes.
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 supporting surface to adjust
the windlass correctly in relation to the opening in
the hull. 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.
