4.3 Control switch installation
Follow the mounting instructions
supplied with the switch.
• NOTE: In a multi station installation
all switches must be wired in a
parallel circuit.
4. Electrical Wiring
4.1 Electric cable selection
Lewmar recommends the installer
source and install cable that meets
the requirements of the standards and
regulations relevant to the installation
and codes of practice.
The cable table gives recommended
cable sizes based on total length
of cable required, from the battery,
following the route of the cables.
DO NOT confuse cable Length
with the length of the vessel!
• Windlass performance is directly
related to cable size and length.
Voltage drop over the complete
wiring run must not exceed 10%.
4.2 Wiring
Plan the installation to suit the
controls and give the operator a full
view of the windlass. The wiring
system should be of the fully insulated
type, which avoids possible electrolytic
corrosion problems. We recommend the
use of type III stranded, tinned copper
wire with copper crimp terminals. Most
modern installations are negative
return (negative ground) but polarity
should be checked.
Overload protection, in the form of the
circuit breaker/fuse supplied, must be
built into the windlass wiring circuit.
• NOTE: The circuit breaker should be
positioned close to the battery in a
dry, readily accessible place.
• The breaker must be manually
reset should an overload occur that
causes it to trip to the off position.
• If you are not sure you understand
these guidelines, seek professional
help. Ensure that the installation
complies with USCG, ABYC, NMMA
or other local regulations.
