VX1L Fitting
Using a 10mm (⅜”) diameter drill, make the 4 holes for the
mounting studs, 15mm (¹³/₃₂”) for the gearbox fitting. With a
100mm (3 ¹⁵/₁₆”) and 67mm (2 ¼”) diameter hole saw, make two
holes for the mainsha and rode to pass through.
1. When all the holes have been made, remove the
template. To help avoid water absorption by the deck, apply an
appropriate marine sealant to the freshly cut hole edges.
2. Assemble and tighten studs into base until they bottom out
in their holes. Some studs have a flat. Position the flats of the
studs nearest the base of the windlass.
