website. If there are any questions about selecting the right product, please consult an authorized Seldén
dealer. All dealers are listed at www.seldenmast.com and divided in categories describing their competence.
The Seldén winch is designed for line handling on sailboats only!
Exceeding the stated maximum working load may lead to winch failure and serious injuries.
Keephands,ngers,hairandclothingawayfrommovingpartswhilewinchisinuse.Itis
recommended to let only one person work with the winch at any one time.

2 Self-tailing winch
The Seldén winches are manually operated and of self-tailing type with two available speeds. The ribs of the
drum provide an extraordinary grip. As a result, fewer coils of the line are required, reducing the risk of an
override and allowing the line to be released quickly. An optimized choice of materials makes for low weight
and high performance. The unique design of the self-tailer enables the trimmer to pull the slack out of the
sheet with the line sitting in the self-tailer and with the winch handle mounted.

3 Installation
Installation of a Seldén Winch must be carried out by a competent installer who has read and
understood this installation manual, the purpose and function of the winch and has checked the
loads, winch sizing and mounting requirements prior to installation.
Winch orientation, position relative to associated components and location regarding deck reinforcement
and suitability must be checked and any reinforcement work carried out prior to installation. The installer
takes full responsibility to ensure these checks have been undertaken. This may require the assistance of
aboatyardorcertiedmarineengineers.
Seldén Mast does not provide fasteners. The installer is responsible for the sourcing and specifying load
capacity of the fasteners, ensuring they are rated for the expected loads from the winch. Any fastener
should be made from marine grade stainless steel.

3.1 Installation preparation
Priortoinstallation,ndasuitablemountingpointforthewinch.Whenchoosingamountingpoint,
consider previous and following requirements.
Orienting the winch
For optimum performance during use, the winch must be oriented correctly for the intended application.
If the winch is to be used for handling of multiple lines, e.g. placed on the coach roof for use as a halyard
winch in combination with running spinnaker or gennaker sheets, the winch shall be oriented and optimized
for the highest load.
The line shall enter the drum tangential to the base cover protrusion. This is shown in the
gurebelow.

Preventing override
To prevent override, the line must be guided onto the winch at an angle of approximately 5-10° to the
horizontalplane,asshowninthegurebelow:
To achieve the correct angle, installing a block or sheet lead to divert the sheet or halyard to the winch may
be necessary. Please visit www.seldenmast.com to browse our selection of suitable deck hardware.

3.2 Deck installation
Thewinchescaneitherbeinstalledwithscrewssecuredwithnutsbelowdeckorwithscrewstteddirectly
in the deck, provided that the hull is prepared with appropriate reinforcement plates.
Follow procedure A or B depending on your installation method:
A: Installation with screws and nuts below deck
B: Installation directly in the deck
Equipment
Material and equipment needed for installation:
1.
A/B:
Dismantle the winch according to chapter 5.2,
steps 1 and 2.
Installing winches directly into the deck is only possible on yachts equipped with aluminium- or
stainless-steel deck-inserts intended for mounting winches. If at any point there is uncertainty if
the yacht is equipped in this way, please abort the installation and seek assistance at the yard or
builder.

Avoid mixing locking adhesive and
marine sealant as this may cause
either to fail.
3.3 Final adjustments

preferred direction. To adjust the position of the ST-arm, dismantle the winch according to step 1 in chapter
5 Maintenance and Service.TheST-armcanthenbettedfollowedby
reassembly of the winch.
It is recommended to guide the line into the cockpit.
16
1.
Apply 2-3 turns clockwise around the
winch. The number of turns suitable for
optimal performance is determined by
the wind conditions and the line type.
2.
Lead the line over the self-tailing arm and
into the self-tailing jaws for ¾ of a turn.
The line can remain in the self-tailing jaws
during the winching operation.
3.
Pull the slack of the line until tensioned.
4 Operation
Seldén S-winches are manually operated and are of self-tailing type with two available speeds.
Winching
17
4.
Insert the winch-handle into the socket by
twisting the lever on the handle to enable
insertion into the handle-socket.
When inserted, release the lever to secure
the handle in the socket.
5.
Operate the winch by turning the winch
handle in either clockwise of anticlockwise
direction.
High gear: Turn the winch handle
clockwise.
Low gear: Turn the winch handle
anticlockwise.
1.
While keeping tension in the pulling end of
the line, undo the line from the self-tailing
jaws. If needed, reduce the number of turns
on the drum to 2-3 turns.
Reducing the number of turns under
high loads may cause the line to slip
in an un-controlled manner, with the
potential risk of personal injury.
Release the line
Clockwise:
High gear
Anticlockwise:
Low gear
18
2.
Gently ease the tension in the pulling end to
induce slipping over the winch drum,
releasing the tension in the sheet.
Do this until the desired tension is obtained.
Lock the line by putting it into the self-tailing
jaws.
Keep body parts and clothing away
from the winch when releasing the line.
The Seldén winch is designed for line handling on sailboats only!
Keep body parts and clothing away from moving parts while the winch is in use.
It is recommended to let only one person work with the winch at any one time.
If a Seldén winch is used for going aloft, double halyards must be used, to be hauled in and
easedoatthesametime.(Seldénriggingmanual“Hints&Advice”,595-540-E,“Workingaloft”).

5.1 Frequent maintenance
To aid longevity and performance of the winch it is recommended to rinse the winch with fresh water
after sailing. This removes any build-up of salt and will ensure that the winch runs smoothly between
services.
5.2 Normal maintenance
For heavy sailing or racing, a normal service is recommended before any major regatta or event. For the
regular sailor, a normal service can be performed once a year adding to the annual extended service.
