BEFORE installing your HoseMaster, consider the following three points:
LOCATION FOR THE HOSEMASTER :
The first step in determining where to install your HoseMaster should be finding a suitable space where the
HoseMaster will fit. The HoseMaster has been designed to fit in the most space-challenged areas of your yacht. The photo
at right shows one possible instal-
lation. The typical size require-
ment for the HoseMaster is 14.00”
deep x 13.00” high x 12.00” wide.
Perhaps the easiest location for
the HoseMaster to be installed is
in a storage bay that is near the
boat’s water supply. The
HoseMaster may also be located
away from the water supply area
by using a length of water hose
routed from the water supply line
to the HoseMaster (included in
optional installation kit).
WATER HOSE EXIT :
The second step is determining where the water hose will exit the exterior of your boat. In
some cases it may be preferrable for the water hose to exit
the aft through a hawse pipe, while in other applications it
may be necessary to exit the side. One option also available
would be to have the water hose installed in a storage com-
partment on the aft deck (see photo at left). In either case, a
route must be identified that the hose will take from where it
is stored to the outside of your boat.
CONNECTION TO THE BOAT’SWATER SYSTEM :
Connecting the HoseMaster to the boat’s water system is very simple. In retrofits, simply route the existing hose line from
the ship’s water system inlet port to where you have installed the HoseMaster. Cut the hose at a suitable length and attach
a 1/2” NPT female connector. Attach the female connector to the 1/2” NPT male water hose inlet, located in the center of
the main pulley wheel of the HoseMaster. If you prefer to replace your existing hose with a new one, then route a length
of approved 5/8” water hose from your ship’s water system inlet port to the HoseMaster water outlet port and connect as
described above (see drawing below).

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OR INSTALLATION OF IT’S PRODUCTS.

INSTALLING THE HOSEMASTER
The HoseMaster system must be mounted in a location that is protected from the elements
and that does not contain combustible fuels. Generally, an existing space in the engine room
near the water storage tank is an acceptable location.
MOUNTING THE HOSEMASTER
In general, the HoseMaster system will be mounted to either the floor or the roof of the com-
partment where it will be located.
Determine where the HoseMaster will be mounted. It is very important to allow clearance for
the HoseMaster storage spool to operate freely without obstruction or interference, and for the
connection of the water hose from the ship’s water supply.
Install the mounting bracket by using six (6) #10 fasteners (HINT: Unspooling the water
hose before mounting the HoseMaster can aid installation in tight spaces).
CONNECTING THE HOSEMASTER TO YOUR BOAT’S WATER SYSTEM
As mentioned in section 3 of the Installation Guide (opposite page), the connection of
the HoseMaster to your ship’s water system is fairly straightforward and simple.
To retrofit the HoseMaster to your coach simply route the existing hose line from the
boat water system inlet port to where you have installed the HoseMaster.
Attach the female connector to the 1/2” NPT male water hose connector, located in the
center of the main pulley wheel of the HoseMaster.
Cut the hose at a suitable length and attach a 1/2” NPT female connector.
If you prefer to replace your existing hose with a new one, then route a length of drinking
water safe 5/8” water hose from the boat’s water system inlet port to the HoseMaster water
connector as described above (see pg. 10 for Accessories).
MOUNTING THE HOSEMASTER POWER SWITCH
The HoseMaster power switch comes already assembled, and should be mounted near
the hawse pipe where the hose will exit the boat’s sidewall with (2) #8 fasteners (needed).
You are now ready to connect the HoseMaster to your boat’s electrical system.

To aid in the installation of your HoseMaster a mounting template has
been enclosed in this manual.
1) Tape template where installation is to occur, leaving appropriate clear-
ance for hose connection and reel wheel. Mark mount holes.
2) Drill holes and install screw/fender washer, cut screw and SAE wash-
er. Tighten screws until plate fits snug under fender washer. Position the
cut washer to angle fender washer forward.
3) Install plumbing onto HoseMaster, and perform leak check.
4) Slide HoseMaster onto screws.
5) Install front mounting hardware.
6) Connect wires and mount the power switch.

HOSEMASTER WIRING DIAGRAM
H
WARNING: If you are not sure on how to wire your HoseMaster DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONNECT POWER TO THE
UNIT, contact a qualified electrician.
The 2 wire connection to vehicle power is all that is required for installation of the Glendinning HoseMaster.
All other wiring has been completed at the factory.
IMPORTANT: Install a 10-amp fuse between the positive terminal of the power supply and the white wire which leads to
the circuit breaker on the power switch assembly. This circuit will protect your boat in the event that the wire which sup-
plies power to the HoseMaster is chaffed or cut.
The circuit breaker that comes installed in the power switch assembly provides protection against the overloading of the
HoseMaster motor.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
The HoseMaster comes with (2) 14 gauge wires attached to the motor via the power switch assembly.
These wires should be connected to the 12VDC power source. The white wire should be connected to the positive terminal
and the black wire should be connected to the negative ter-
minal. It is important to install a 10amp fuse close to the
power source in-line with the white wire. This installation will
prevent damage to your boat (see wiring diagram page 7).
Make sure all connections are secure.

If you are NOT familiar with the standards and
practices for DC electrical systems it is
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
that you contact a qualified electrician.

MAINTENANCE
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
The HoseMaster was designed for longevity of operation with very little maintenance required. When dealing with a
drinking water safe device, it is extremely important to keep exposed parts that come into contact with your potable water
free of debris or contaminates. With each use of the HoseMaster always REPLACE THE HOSE CAP when the water hose
is disconnected from a supply source.
CHECK TO MAKE SURE NOTHING IS RUBBING or binding on the storage spool.
CHECK ALL WIRING CONNECTIONS, at least once a year, to be sure they are secure and free of corrosion.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To operate the HoseMaster, follow these steps:
— PULL OUT ONLY the amount of hose required to reach the dockside water supply bib.
— TURN ON the dockside water supply to remove any standing water, then turn OFF.
— REMOVE the HoseMaster’s hose cap and inspect gasket.
— SCREW THE FEMALE HOSE FITTING onto the dockside water supply bib until leak-tight.
(use 51564 (optional accessory) at docks with high supply pressures to protect your vessel’s system)
— TURN ON the dockside water supply. Ship is now being equipped with water from dockside supply.
When ready to get underway:
— TURN OFF dockside water supply and release
hose pressure by disconnecting hose from supply.
— INSPECT HOSE CAP for contamination; clean if
necessary and screw hose cap onto water hose.
— PUSH AND HOLD the HoseMaster power switch
(red button). HoseMaster will electrically retrieve the water hose and store it on the self winding wheel.
— When hose has been retracted, RELEASE the push-button power switch to stop the unit (continuing to push
the power button may cause damage to the motor and will cause the circuit breaker switch to trip—reset before
next use).
