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 reinforce-
ment work carried out prior to installation. The installer takes full responsibility to
ensure these checks have been undertaken. This may require the assistance of a
boatyardorcertiedmarineengineers.
Seldén Mast does not provide fasteners. The installer is responsible for the sour-
cing 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.
Seldén Mast AB does not take responsibility for the incorrect installation of a
winch,theinsucientreinforcementofthedeckatthelocationofthewinch,

3.1 Installation preparation
Winch orientation
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.
LOAD SIDE

3.2 Fitting the winch
1.
Use the provided drilling template and
mark and drill holes suitable for the
intended fastening method.
Take special consideration for the winch
orientation before drilling to allow compli-
ance with chapter 3.1, Winch orientation.
(If needed, the drilling template can be
downloaded from www.seldenmast.com.
When printing from the web, scaling
issues may occur. Verify the template
before using.)
2.
Unscrew the top cover using the winch
tool that was supplied with the winch.
3.
Remove the top-cover, the self-tailing
arm and the locator bracket.
4.
Remove the drum.

11
5.
Fit the winch with countersunk screws.
Take measures to seal the interface
between the hull and the winch to avoid
water ingress. Recommended fasteners
can be found under fastener recommen-
dations on page 8.
The hull and deck must be
properly reinforced in the mounting
area to keep its integrity with the
provided tightening torques as well as
withstanding the loads applied on the
winch.
6.
Ret the drum, the top-cover, the self-
tailing arm and the locator bracket.
Adjust the self-tailing arm to have the line
exiting the self-tailing jaws in the desired
direction.
7.
Make sure that the line stripper is posi-
tioned in line with, and held captive by,
the self-tailing arm before retting the top
cover.
Tighten the top cover using the supplied
winch tool.

12
3.3 Adjusting the self-tailing arm
1.
The self-tailing arm can be adjusted
to feed the line into the cockpit. To do
this, unscrew the top cover and lift the
self-tailing arm
The self-tailing arm can now be
rotated to allow the line to feed properly.
Be sure to ret the self-tailing arm
correctly to the grooves on the locator
bracket.
2.
Make sure that the line stripper is
positioned in line with, and held captive
by, the self-tailing arm before retting
the top cover.
Tighten the top cover using the supplied
winch tool.

13
1.
Apply 2-3 turns on the winch
drum and pull any slack in the
line. Fewer or more turns may
be required depending on the
conditions.
NOTE: More turns on the winch
drum increases the risk of over-
ride.
2.
Add more turns if required
and then feed the line over the
self-tailing arm and lock it in the
self-tailing jaws.
Pull any remaining slack in the
line.
3.
Use a winch handle to trim the
rest of the line until desired
shape of the sail and/or tension
of the sheet or halyard has been
reached.
Rotating the winch handle
anti-clockwise will engage the
high speed. If more power is
needed, rotating the winch
handle clockwise will engage the
low speed.

Emergency situations
Override:
In an override situation, secure the line on the load side to relief tension in the line
aroundthewinch.Ifthisdoesnotreleasetheridingturns,ttingasecondaryline
may be required to acquire relief. Severe cases may require cutting the original
line after the new line has been attached and pulled.
Winch malfunction, diverting the line:
If the winch stops working all together, diversion of the line to another winch may
be required.Consider any forces that may cause further damage to the boat and/
or any equipment and/or persons before attempting this strategy.
