Instructions
for Use
Congratulations and thank you for choosing an Alvey Reel
After firmly attaching the Deck Winch Reel to the rail or mounting system of your launch, the line is passed
between the roller runner and guide pin. The rig, bait and sinker are then attached and dropped overboard.
With the Star Nut slackened the sinker will quickly take your baited line down, but you must be ready to
stop the spool with your hand immediately the sinker hits the bottom to prevent overrun. You should then
tighten the Star Adjusting Nut to apply the desired tension on the line from the spool.
An adjustable overrun bar is provided (on some models) which is set close to the rim of the spool to prevent
the line from coming off the spool under normal circumstances; nevertheless, failure to stop overrun when
playing line out off a free spool could result in some loose coils of line getting caught around the axle. If this
should accidentally happen, it is often quicker and easier to remove the spool in order to free the line.
To remove the Spool: If the winch has double winding handles, remove the lock nuts and second handle
from the main shaft. Then remove the knurled centre screw (only applies to Reef Master) and unscrew the
Star Nut. Now, hold the spool firmly with one hand whilst the axle is withdrawn with the other. The line will
now free itself and the axle Star Nut and centre screw can be replaced ready for action.
When replacing the axle, it may be necessary to turn it until the slot in the axle engages the notches in
the internal mechanism of the friction clutch.
The process of removing the spool, freeing the line and replacing it should take only a few seconds, but will
not be necessary if a little care is taken to prevent overrun when playing out line with a free spool.
Double winding handles on large winches will take a little longer to remove. The non-reversing friction clutch
is set to the desired tension by means of the Star Adjusting Nut or handwheel. As this can be adjusted at
any time whilst playing a fish, it is not necessary to set it to maximum tension for normal fishing. Reels can
be mounted on an optional swivel clamp to allow the reel to follow the direction of the line and this action can
be used to lay the line evenly on the spool when retrieving line. A crank screw is provided to prevent the
reel from swivelling if desired.
