16 RC12 Windlass
Installing on a sloping or curved deck
Ensure that the windlass has the correct vertical alignment with the bow roller.
If necessary, use a mounting pad as shown below.

Important note to Boat Builders
Experience has shown that on long ocean deliveries as deck cargo, sulphur (from the ships
exhaust and condensation) settles and severely damages the chrome plating and stainless steel
of the windlass by breaking down the protective chrome oxide film.
We recommend, after completing installation, you spray the top works of the windlass with CRC
3097 “long life” and wrap the windlass with plastic film and tape.
