4- Installation
4.2 Accessories
Use only genuine Lewmar parts and accessories to ensure top performance and eliminate the risk of
voiding your warranty.
4.3 Gypsy Suitability
Gypsies tted to the Pro-Series / Pro-Fish windlasses are ideally suited to handling our factory made
Rope/Chain combination rodes, which consist of rope spliced to a chain tail. See §2 Specications for
details.
Ropes used must be windlass grade, medium lay nylon. Ropes from different manufacturers
have wide variations in stretch and consistency in diameter. Therefore, rope and chain from other
manufacturers may require some experimentation to determine the optimum size.
Should you have difculty in matching a gypsy to your chain please consult your local agent or our
international network of distributors.

1. Use drilling template provided and choose an appropriate position with reference to the vessel’s
bow roller and the chain locker below. Allow for the rotation of the manual operating wrench handle
2. If the deck is not at, a suitable mounting pad may be required to take up camber or sheer.
NOTE: If in doubt about the suitable construction of the pad consult a qualied marine engineer.
The deck is an integral component of the windlass it has to secure the windlass and be strong
enough to cope with the high torque stresses involved in recovering the anchor. Decks that are thin,
or of foam or balsa laminate construction, will require reinforcement in order to spread the loads that will
be applied to the deck while the windl;ass is in use.

4.5 Below deck preparation
IMPORTANT: The positioning of the windlass must be
checked prior to cutting for deck/hull and bulkhead
clearance.
Lead from the roller should be fed horizontally back
to the top of the gypsy and along its centre line within
+6˚. There must be sufcient vertical fall (minimum
of 300 mm /12” at all
times) for the chain or
rope when hauling in.
WARNING! Failure to
provide minimum vertical
fall will cause jamming.
