VERTICAL WINDLASS MANUAL VOLUME ONE
2. Place the windlass on the deck and decide
upon a posion for it with reference to
the vessel’s bow roller (Fig. 4.3-2) and the
chain locker below. Rode lead from the
roller should ideally be fed horizontally
back to the top of the gypsy and along
its centerline (Fig. 4.3-3). There must be
sucient vercal fall for the chain or rope,
even with a full locker, to draw the rode
from the gypsy when hauling in.
3. Place the mounng template on the deck
or mounng pad in the desired posion
for the windlass and hold it in place using
adhesive tape.
NOTE: Check the scale of the template
matches the winch.

4.3 Fitting The Windlass to the Deck
1. If the deck is not at, a suitable mounng
pad may be required to take up camber or
sheer. Decks that are thin, or of foam or
balsa laminate construcon, will require
reinforcement in order to spread the
loads that will be applied to the deck
while the windlass is in use. The standard
5/16" (8 mm) threaded mounng studs
supplied suit deck and packing
thickness of up to 1 1/4" (35 mm) for
Pacic 600/900 and up to 2" (50 mm) for
Pacic 1000/1500. These are adequate for
most installaons.
