CAUTION!
The rope reel release knob and the lift handle only operate in a clockwise direction.
Operating these in a counter clockwise direction may cause damage.
ATTWOOD ANCHOR LIFT SYSTEM CARE:
1. The Anchor Lift System comes completely lubricated from the factory with
waterproof grease; however lubrication is recommended periodically to maintain the
product in good working order.
2. The amount of use and exposure your Anchor Lift System is subjected to will
determine the frequency of the required lubrication of the product. The Anchor Lift
System Anchor Mount / Rope Guide and Anchor Rope Reel Assembly should be
covered when not in use and, if used in salt or brackish waters, should be flushed
with fresh water to remove all salt residues.
Lubrication:
1. To lubricate the reel assembly use a waterproof grease spray or grease tube with
a long nozzle and insert into the lube opening located under the long slot handle
assembly. Rotating the reel during this process will help to move the grease over
the internal component surfaces.
Figure E
2. To properly lubricate the reel internal axle assembly you will need to remove the
rope from the reel. Apply grease into the slot in the reel axle shaft and rotate the
reel to spread and coat the internal axle.
3. Reinstall the rope on the reel. Make sure that you clean up any grease residue prior
to installing rope on the reel to avoid soiling the rope.
4. To lubricate the Anchor Mount / Rope Guide use a light duty penetrating oil to spray
the shafts of the rollers allowing the penetrating oil to work under the rollers. Avoid
spraying directly on the anchor rope.

or pulleys. These are boat specific and must be supplied by
the consumer to meet their particular application and craft
specifications.
ANCHOR LIFT SYSTEM
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS:
It’s always a good idea to enlist the help of second person during the installation
process to help in locating, holding and marking the assemblies for installation.
ANCHOR MOUNT / ROPE GUIDE INSTALLATION:
1. Determine a suitable location for the installation of the Anchor Mount / Rope Guide
Assembly and Anchor Rope Reel Assembly. Make sure that these locations have
enough support for the loads and space to properly mount and use the product with
clearances for the anchor rope to move freely during use.
For watercraft with decks or no opening in the bow plate, a 3/4 inch hole may be
necessary to be drilled directly beneath the rear roller of the Anchor Mount / Rope
Guide to provide proper routing of the anchor rope for your application.
Attwood recommends the use of swivel pulleys and guides to help route the rope to
properly utilize the Anchor Lift System by keeping the rope clear of obstructions and
to avoid undue chaffing and wear on the rope and the system. These are not supplied
but can be found at a marine dealer or online.
2. Once you have decided on the location for the Anchor Mount / Rope Guide place the

mount in position and mark, then drill the (4) holes to match the base mounting
hole positions.
3. If a ¾ inch clearance hole is required below the Anchor Mount / Rope Guide (see
figure A) now is the time to add it. Position the mount in place and mark the center
of the rear roller along it’s rear edge. Then, using this mark, drill a ¾ inch clearance
hole for the rope to pass through.
4. Attach the Anchor Mount / Rope Guide by using ¼ inch bolts or screws (depending
on your boats specific construction and requirements), making sure all fasteners are
secure and tight.
Figure A
ANCHOR ROPE REEL INSTALLATION:
1. Place the Rope Reel in position and mark, and then drill, the (3) holes to match the
reel’s mounting hole positions.
IMPORTANT: Make sure there is sufficient clearance for the reel to operate freely
and there is no interference with oar locks, oars during use or motor and/or
steering components.
2. Install the ¼ inch bolts using the nylon washers supplied, one on each side of
the hull to provide a water resistant installation. Depending on your watercraft’s
construction you may want to use a quality marine sealant to provide additional
watertight protection from water intrusion. Once all fasteners are in place verify that
all fasteners are secure and tight.

unobstructed operation
ANCHOR ROPE ROUTING AND INSTALLATION:
1. The Attwood Anchor Lift System uses 3/16” diameter anchor rope up to 100 foot
capacity. Insert one end of the rope through the hole from the spool side. Tie a knot
in the end of the rope making sure that it is as tight as possible and trim off excess to
avoid rubbing and interference against the base when the reel is in operation.
2. Add slight tension to the line and slowly wind the rope onto the reel in a clockwise
direction. Having slight tension on the line keeps it from binding or becoming tangled
during the winding process and provides for much easier anchor release.
3. Once you have the anchor line wound on to the rope reel route the rope along the
side of the boat, determine if you will need rope guides or swivel pulleys, note the
placement of the guides, and install them following all of the Warnings and Cautions.
(Attwood recommends the use of swivel pulleys and guides to help route the rope to
properly utilize the Anchor Lift System by keeping the rope clear of obstructions and
to avoid undue chaffing and wear on the rope and the system. These are not supplied
but can be found at your local marine dealer or online at one of the many marine
retailers.)
4. Finalize the routing of the anchor line through the Anchor Mount / Rope Guide
Assembly, attach your anchor, and take up the slack in the line.
5. Verify the routing of the line making sure there is no chaffing or interference
between; the line, pulleys, guides and the watercraft.

MATERIALES INCLUIDOS
Importante: El sistema de elevación de ancla Attwood viene completo con los
componentes que se indican arriba. Debido a la variedad de embarcaciones y materiales
que se utilizan actualmente en la construcción de botes, Attwood no ha incluido
accesorios de montaje, tales como pernos, tornillos, tuercas, guías de línea o poleas.
Estos accesorios varían según el bote, y el consumidor debe obtener aquellos que
cumplan con las especificaciones de la embarcación y su aplicación particular.
INSTRUCCIONES PARA EL MONTAJE
DEL SISTEMA DE ELEVACION DE ANCLA:
Siempre es bueno solicitar la ayuda de otra persona durante el proceso de instalación
para que lo asista a la hora de ubicar, sostener y marcar los conjuntos que debe instalar.
INSTALACION DEL MONTAJE DEL ANCLA/GUIA DE LA SOGA:
1. Determine cuál es la ubicación adecuada para instalar el montaje del ancla/conjunto
guía de la soga y el conjunto de carrete de la soga del ancla. Asegúrese de que estas
ubicaciones tengan soporte suficiente para las cargas y espacio para montar y utilizar
el producto adecuadamente, con la separación necesaria para que la soga del ancla se
mueva libremente durante su uso.
En embarcaciones con cubiertas o sin aberturas en la placa de la proa, puede que
sea necesario perforar un orificio de 3/4 pulg. (1,90 cm) debajo del rodillo trasero del
montaje del ancla/guía de la soga para lograr una trayectoria adecuada de la soga del
ancla para su aplicación.
Attwood recomienda el uso de poleas giratorias y guías para ayudar a establecer
la trayectoria de la soga y utilizar el sistema de elevación de ancla adecuadamente,
protegiendo así la soga de obstrucciones y evitando que se produzca un roce o
desgaste excesivo de la soga y el sistema. Dichos elementos no están incluidos, pero
se pueden obtener en una tienda náutica o en Internet.
2. Una vez que haya decidido cuál será la ubicación del montaje del ancla/guía de la
soga, coloque el montaje en posición y realice las marcas pertinentes. Luego, perfore
los (4) orificios para que coincidan con las posiciones de los orificios de montaje de
la base.
3. Si se requiere un orificio de separación de 3/4 pulg. (1,90 cm) para la soga debajo del
montaje del ancla/guía de la soga (vea la Figura A), este es el momento de añadirlo.
Coloque el montaje en su lugar y marque el centro del rodillo trasero a lo largo de su
borde trasero. Luego, partiendo de esta marca, perfore un orifico de 3/4 pulg. (1,90
cm) para que pase la soga.
4. Fije el montaje del ancla/guía de la soga con pernos o tornillos de 1/4 pulg. (0,64 cm)
(dependiendo de la construcción y los requisitos específicos de su bote) y verifique
que todos los sujetadores estén ajustados y fijos.
