3- Protection Notice
At all mes it is the responsibility of the boat user to ensure that the anchor and rode are
properly stowed for the prevailing sea condions. This is parcularly important with high-speed
powerboats, because an anchor accidentally deploying while under way can cause considerable
damage. An anchor windlass is mounted in the most exposed posion on a vessel and is thus
subject to severe atmospheric aack resulng in a possibility of corrosion in excess of that
experienced with most other items of deck equipment. As the windlass may only be used
infrequently, the risk of corrosion is further increased. It is essenal that the windlass is
regularly examined, operated and given any necessary maintenance.
Please ensure that you thoroughly understand the operaon and safety requirements of the
windlass before commencing the installaon. Only persons who are completely familiar with
the controls and those who have been fully made aware of the correct use of the windlass
should be allowed to use it. If there is any doubt of how to install or operate this unit please
seek advice from a suitably qualied engineer.
• Windlasses used incorrectly could cause harm to equipment or crew.
• Windlasses should be used with care and treated with respect.
• Boang, like many other acvies can be hazardous. Even the correct selecon, mainte-
nance and
• use of proper equipment cannot eliminate the potenal for danger, serious injury or
death.
• Five Oceans windlasses are designed and supplied for anchor control in marine applica-
ons and are not to be used in conjuncon with any other use.
• Keep limbs, ngers, clothing and hair clear of windlass and anchor rope/chain and anchor
during operaon. Severe bodily harm would result.
• Ensure there are no swimmers or divers nearby when dropping anchor.
• When the Windlass is not in use the anchor must be ed o onto a cleat or equivalent
strong point to prevent damage to the boat.
• Windlass must not be used as the sole means of securing the anchor to the bow ng
especially under storm condions. Anchors should be independently secured to prevent
accidental release.
• Classicaon Sociees require that a vessel lying at anchor must have its anchor rope/
chain secured to a chain stopper or other suitable independent strong point.
• A windlass should never be used as a mooring bollard, the anchor rode MUST be secured
to a mooring cleat, chain stopper or other designated strong point. Using the windlass to
secure the rode will damage the windlass.
• Do not use windlass for ANY purpose other than deployment and recovery of anchor.
• Do not wrap chain around a capstan barrel or drum where ed.
• A circuit breaker/isolator should always be used with this windlass to protect the motor
and cables from overheang and damage.
• Always switch o this windlass at the circuit breaker/isolator when not in use.
• It is the unavoidable responsibility of the owner or master or other responsible party to
assess the risk of any operaon on the vessel.
• Windlass must not be operated whilst under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.

2. Place the windlass on the deck and decide
upon a posion for it with reference to
the vessel’s bow roller (Fig. 4.3-2) and the
chain locker below. Rode lead from the
roller should ideally be fed horizontally
back to the top of the gypsy and along
its centerline (Fig. 4.3-3). There must be
sucient vercal fall for the chain or rope,
even with a full locker, to draw the rode
from the gypsy when hauling in.
3. Place the mounng template on the deck
or mounng pad in the desired posion
for the windlass and hold it in place using
adhesive tape.
NOTE: Check the scale of the template
matches the winch.

4.2 Accessories
Use only genuine Five Oceans parts and accessories to ensure top performance and eliminate
the risk of voiding your warranty. For replacement parts, please visit your dealer or
www.ve-oceans.com
4.3 Fitting The Windlass to the Deck
1. If the deck is not at, a suitable mounng
pad may be required to take up camber or
sheer. Decks that are thin, or of foam or
balsa laminate construcon, will require
reinforcement in order to spread the
loads that will be applied to the deck
while the windlass is in use. The standard
5/16" (8 mm) threaded mounng studs
supplied suit deck and packing
thickness of up to 1 1/4"(35 mm) for
Pacic 600/900 and up to 2" (50 mm) for
Pacic 1000/1500. These are adequate for
most installaons.
4.3-1

FIVE OCEANS PACIFIC SERIES
4. Using a 5/16"(8mm) diameter drill, make the
four (4) holes for the mounng studs. With a
2 1/2” (44 mm) diameter hole saw, make the
hole for the rode to pass throughwith a 4 1/2”
(52 mm) diameter hole saw, make a hole for
the motor gearbox to pass through. When
all the holes have been made, remove the
template. To help avoid water absorpon by
the deck, apply an appropriate marine sealant
to the freshly cut hole edges.
5. Fully screw the four (4) mounng studs into the base
of the windlass. Screw the studs into the base nger
ght, with the ats towards the base as shown
(Fig 4.3-5).
6. Next, ghten the studs unl they boom out in their
holes. Do this to each of the studs in turn.
Pass all the studs through the
deck and t them security on
the motor piece which is on
the underside of the deck and
secure the unit with the xings
provided.
7. Place the base mat in posion on the deck, oponally, apply a suitable sea ant to the base
of the windlass, any mounng pad or around the studs.
NOTE: If using silicone or other rubbery type sealant, it is advisable to allow curing of the
sealant before nal ghtening of the mounng nuts.Trim the studs back to 6 mm (1/4”)
below the fully ghtened nuts.

5.2 Wiring
Plan the installaon to suit the controls and give the operator a full view of the windlass. The
wiring system should be of the fully insulated type, which avoids possible electrolyc corrosion
problems.
We recommend the use of type III stranded, nned copper wire with copper crimp
terminals (NOTE: we recommend that the cable are shorter if possible.). Most modern installa-
ons are negave return (negave ground) but polarity should be checked. Overload protec-
on, in the form of the circuit breaker provided must be built into the windlass wiring circuit.
• Circuit breaker supplied:
Pacic 600 Series (Circuit Breaker: 60 Amps - 80 Amps)
Pacic 900 Series (Circuit Breaker: 80 Amps)
Pacic 1000 Series (Circuit Breaker: 100 Amps)
Pacic 1500 Series (Circuit Breaker: 135 Amps)
• The circuit breaker should be posioned close to the baery in a dry, readily accessible place.
• The breaker must be manually reset should an overload occur that causes it to trip to the o
posion.
Warning
If you are not sure you understand these guidelines, seek professional help. Ensure that the
installaon complies with USCG, ABYC, NMMA or other local regulaons.

entanglement danger whiIst operating
windlass manually or under power
WARNING! Always remove
wrench handle aer use.
DONT FORGET
Always remove the handle aer use.

14 VERTICAL WINDLASS MANUAL VOLUME ONE
This is an anchor recovery device. DO NOT use the windlass to pull the boat to the anchor as it
will damage the mechanism. Vessels at anchor will snub on the rode and this can cause slippage
or apply excessive loads to the windlass. Best pracce is to use a bollard or other strong point
when at anchor and use the vessels engines to break the anchor free. Otherwise excessive load
will cause the freefall funcon to seize and can cause damage to the gearbox.
When anchoring, power rode out allowing the vessel to take up stern away prevenng the rode
tangling with anchor. Use this method for mooring stern rst to a jey. To aid recovery, under
power, move vessel towards anchor but not over and beyond, as this can cause damage to
topside. As anchor approaches the vessel use careful adjustments of controls to avoid damaging
vessel, start and stop the windlass to bring the anchor slowly into the bow roller. Pulling the last
bit of rode and anchor into the bow roller at full speed can damage the boat, bow roller and
windlass. When stowing it is important to make sure, parcularly with rode lines that there is at
least 300mm (12”) of free space below the windlass (See §4.5). Stop and check during the
stowing process to determine if there is sucient space on you vessel. If the rode pile is too
close to the underside of the windlass, re-distribute the rode away from directly below the
windlass. If the rode gets too close to the underside of the windlass it will cause problems with
good rode recovery and may cause damage to the line.
6.2 Windlass Operang Procedures
When retrieving anchor do not
overload or stall in windlass.
The rode should be secured directly to a bollard, sampson
post or cleat and a chain secured by a chain stopper.

15
FIVE OCEANS PACIFIC SERIES
• With whipping twine or similar, seize your rope
8" (200 mm) from the rope’s end and unlay the
strands.
• Pass one strand through the chain link from one side
and the other two strands from the opposite side.
Remove seizing and complete a back splice in the
normal manner for four full tucks.
• With a hot knife pare down the three strands by one
half of their diameter and connue with two further
tucks.
• With a hot knife, carefully melt the ends back into
the line. Because of wide variaons in rope type
and construcon some experimentaon may be
required.
• Whip the line with permanent whipping at the
beginning of the taper.
• The method of joining illustrated is designed to
minimize chafe between the rope and chain but as
a maer of prudent seamanship the splice should
be checked regularly and remade if there is any
evidence of wear.
6.3 Joining Rope to Chain
When splicing rope to chain, select a length of chain that will avoid having the splice posioned
in the gypsy when the anchor comes over the stemhead. Furthermore, ensure that the splice is
no ghter than the rope.
A hard splice is not desired.

16 VERTICAL WINDLASS MANUAL VOLUME ONE
8 Troubleshoong
1. Anchor falls down independently while windlass is not in use.
• This problem is a result of not securing the anchor rode combined with the gypsy drive
cap being slack. Tighten the gypsy drive cap using the Five Oceans wrench and always
secure the anchor rode independently of the windlass when not in use.
2. Failure to operate or sluggish operaon.
• The majority of these problems are electrical in nature. It is essenal that the proper
voltage be maintained. The proper voltage on a 12 Volt system is 13.5 Volts, constant low
voltage will damage motor.
• Ensure electrical cable size is large enough to handle the current draw and keep voltage
drop within acceptable limits (maximum 10%).
• Check control switches, connecons, baery condion, isolator switch, fuse and motor
for operaon failure.
3. Failure to operate.
• Is there a voltage at the input terminals to the contactor and switches. Check the circuit
breaker/ isolator switch and any fuses.
• Operate the switch. Is there voltage at the posive switch terminal on the solenoid. If
not, the switch (or its wiring), is difecve.
• Keep the switch acvated. Is there voltage at the main output terminal on the contactor.
If not check the contactor coil ground circuit. If okay, replace the contactor.
• Check the voltage at the motor. If voltage of at least 12.5 volts is present and the motor
does not operate, the motor is defecve.
7.1 Servicing Schedule
The service period is determined by the frequency of use. Professional user will need to carry
out these operaons more oen than the weekend user. Before commencing any work on this
or any other electrical product, isolate from the power source.
Bedding in period:
When new there are some areas that will need frequent checking. If no movement is found
they can be inspected less oen.
• Examine all electrical connecons, to make sure they are sound and corrosion hasn’t set
in. Tighten if necessary and protect if required.
• Check mounng studs are rmly clamped and ghten if required.
Aer use:
• Wash down the windlass using fresh water.
• Ensure rode is at least 12” (300mm) below the windlass
• Check anchor locker drain
• Check rode and splice for wear.
Annually or more oen if frequent user:
• Examine all electrical connecons, to make sure they are sound and corrosion hasn’t set
in. Tighten if necessary and protect if required.
• Check mounng studs are rmly clamped and ghten if required.
• Check rode and splice for wear.
• Check gypsy as it is a high wear item
