3.5 Prevention from electrolysis
For aluminium boats, it is essential that the anchor windlass be insulated from the deck through a non-conductive gasket (not supplied).
In addition, it is important that also the anchor and the chain be insulated from the hull, including chain stopper and xing systems.
3.6 Deck thickness
The area of the deck where the capstan is mounted must be solid and resistant so
to be able to support the stresses due to the recovery of the anchor. The standard
series studs allow an admissible range of deck thickness from 18 to 30 mm. Upon
request, different deck thicknesses may be provided (minimum deck thickness is
10mm).
3.7 Deck installation
3.8 Under deck installation
1. Place carefully the drilling template on the deck, by ensuring the correct
alignment with the bow.
2. Mark and drill as indicated in the gure. Let the edges of the holes sharp,
while the edge side of the holes of the chain towards the bow must be
smoothed for an angle of 45° degree.
3. Clean and place the provided gasket
4. Place carefully the upper part of the anchor windlass on the deck.
1. Grease the main shaft
2. Join the reducer to the upper part by aligning the motor far from the chain hole.
3. Screw washers and related nuts to the studs by fastening them appropriately.
4. Connect the cables coming from the battery to the electric motor by following the indications of the wiring diagram
5. The installer is responsible to properly protect the motor and the electrical components (such as the control box) from direct water
contact. Water damage to the electrical components due to water ingress will void the warranty.
Note:
It is recommended to seal the base of the anchor
windlass to the deck by means of silicone glue. Do
not use a permanent glue to x the base of the anchor
windlass to the deck since this will make difcult the
removal in case of maintenance or intervention.
Without these precautions, the electrolysis phenomenon will lead to a rapid corrosion of the anchor windlass.
