Installation and Owner’s Manual

Operation
Prior to Operation
The winch includes a slack line sensor that prevents the
rope jamming or entangling during deployment. The
winch will stop paying out if it senses slack in the line. If
this occurs during operation, either gently power the boat
astern or wait for tidal forces to take up the slack so that
the winch continues paying out.
The winch features ‘a bitter end sensor’ which
automatically prevents deployment of the final 2m (6ft) of
anchor rope. This ensures that a few turns of rope always
remain on the drum for safety purposes, and prevents
the spool from deploying too much rope and reverse
winding. When enough rope is deployed to trigger the
bitter end sensor, winding will stop and the sensor will
override the “Down” button.
The “Auto Pulse” feature automatically pulses the anchor
when the shank is 100mm away from entering the bow
roller. This provides the anchor adequate time to settle
and right itself and protects the winch from shock loads
as the anchor homes against the bow roller. The winch
senses the incoming chain and enters pulse mode
while the anchor is homing. Once the anchor is homed,
the pulses continue until the foot switch is released.
The “Auto Pulse” feature will remain in place until a set
number of pulses have completed or the “down” button is
pressed.
Both the bitter end sensor and Auto Pulse feature
serve to protect equipment and reduce noise. Exercise
good anchoring practice and pay careful attention to
equipment and surroundings when using the winch.
Before operating the winch, check that retrieval of the
anchor will not foul or entangle other vessels or objects
in the water.
KEEP LIMBS, DIGITS, CLOTHING, AND HAIR
CLEAR OF WINDLESS, RODE, AND ANCHOR
DURING OPERATION. SEVERE BODILY HARM
COULD RESULT.
Dropping the Anchor
1. Check that power is turned on and that the circuit
breaker is not tripped. (Push the button on the breaker to
reset it if it’s tripped.)
2. Flip open the protective lid with the downward-facing
arrow on the deck switch (Fig. 11A). Hold the revealed
“Down” button to drop the anchor (Fig. 11B).
NEVER DROP THE ANCHOR WHEN SWIMMERS OR
DIVERS ARE PRESENT.
DO NOT HOLD THE CHAIN, RODE, OR ANCHOR
WHEN WINCH IS IN USE.
3. Release button when the desired length of rode has
been deployed. The bitter end sensor will automatically
stop the winch if all the available rope has
been deployed.
4. If the winch stops operating prematurely, there is
slack in the system. Gently power the boat astern or
wait for tidal forces to take up the slack so that the winch
continues paying out.
5. Close the protective lid of deck switch.
