It is very important to choose the correct type of rope and chain,
to ensure proper running of the windlasses.
Rope- Best use three strand, medium-lay. We recommend Filament
Polyester, Premium Nylon or Silver rope(Australia). Do not use soft
rope. Soft rope (either polyester or nylon ) will slip and cause a
rope jam in the gypsy. It will also lock the gypsy and cause circuit
breaker to pop-up often.
Chain- Must ensure that the inside length “p1” is suitable for the gypsy.
Otherwise, the chain will get stuck(too small) or slip(too big) in the
gypsy and eventually damage the release arm. Please refer to the chart
below.
Note: The rope size indicated is its actual diameter measured
Running-In Gears- It is normal in the initial period(under load) to
observe a noise and lack of power or circuit breaker to pop-up often,
this is caused due to the worm gears Running-In. After about 10 uses,
the gears will become smooth, noticing a regain in power and noise
reducing effect.

IV INSTALLATION
1. TOOLS REQUIRED
a. Electric Drill
b. Adjustable spanner
c. Jig saw
d. File
e. Philips head screwdriver
f. Silicon glue
2. PLANE
a.
First of all, a suitable Bow Roller must be installed to support
the anchor, chain and rope.
b
A bollard or snubbing device should be installed between the
bow roller and the windlass as the rope should be tied on the
bollard while laying anchor or securing the anchor in the fully
raised position.

6
c.
Make sure the anchor well or the chain locker is deep enough
to store chain and rope. The minimum depth is 40cm(11/3ft)
to store about 30 metre(100ft) of rope. If the anchor well is not
deep enough the rope will build up very quickly and block the
entry.
●Flat deck:
Mount on the top of the deck. Attach plywood under the deck
to spray the force, if it is an
aluminum, or fibre glass deck
thinner than 5mm.
●If there is a hatch and anchor well below and without
internal access to the cabin: You may mount on the top of
hatch and attach plywood
under the hatch to spray the
force.(You need to be able to
open the hatch, if the rope gets
tangled)
●If there is a hatch and anchor well below and with internal
access to the cabin: You can also mount on the top
of hatch and attach plywood
under the hatch to spray the
force. The best result is to
replace the hatch into plywood
and secure the plywood to the
deck.

7
Note: While anchored, always tie the rope to the bollard. Do
not allow the windlass or the hatch to take the strength from
the anchor rope.
3. CONSTRUCTION
a.
Place the windlass on the deck and find a suitable position for
it, with reference to the vessel’s bow roller, rope and chain
locker below.
b.
Place the mounting template on the deck in the desired
position for the windlass and hold it in place using adhesive
tape
c.
Use a 10mm(3/8") diameter drill to make four holes for the
mounting thread rods and make a fifth hole to pass power
supply cables through.
d.
With a jig saw, cut the hole for the rope and chain to pass
through. Use a file to smooth any rough edges. To avoid
water absorption by the deck, apply paint to the cut hole
edges.
e.
Place the sealant EVA form under neath the base of windlass
and secure the windlass firmly to the deck from below using
the bolts, nuts and washers supplied

8
f.
Mount control device at a suitable position either in the cabin
or close to the operating area.
g.
Connect the windlass, control unit and power source using
electric cable indicated below. Keep the power supply cable as
short as possible. Too thin and/or too much length of electric
cable will reduce the performance of the windlass or cause the
circuit breaker to work incorrectly
h.
There are two different control systems for South Pacific
windlasses. Do not mix these two systems in one windlass.
1, Direct control system(standard):
Note: For safety reason, do not connect the power source
direct to the battery. Please connect the power cable to
the main power switch on your boat.

9
SW-200 with dynamic brake, can not be parallel.
2, Indirect control system(option):
Using foot switches or hand held switch for multiple control, a
solenoid(DC contactor) K-200 is necessary.
If you have an existing control unit (SW-032 or SW-200), you
must remove it before installing this indirect control system.
Also, do not attach control unit (SW-032 or SW-200) to K-200
as an up/down switch (SW-025).

4. TO INSTALLANCHOR ROPE AND CHAIN
To splice the rope to the chain, please follow the steps below.
Do not use a hook or shackle.
STEP 1:
Unraveling the end of the rope for about 20cm
and secure the end of the strands with tape.

11
STEP 2:
Pass three strands through the last link of the
anchor chain. Untwist the rope to raise a strand
just below the tie on the standing part of the
rope and insert one strand under it, then pull the
strand through. Twist the strand to keep it
tightly wound as you pull it through.
STEP 3:
Take the next strand on the left. Tuck it under
the next strand to the right of the one under
which the first strand was tucked. Pull it
through as before.
STEP 4:
Now turn the whole eye over. Take the last
strand and make the tuck as before under the
only strand on the standing part of the rope not
used yet. Stop and ensure that each working
strand has gone over a strand and under a
strand, and that the whole lot is pulled tight and
twisted in its natural sense. No two strands
should come from under the same strand.
STEP 5:
For the remaining rounds of tucks, take each
end over one strand and under the next one to
the right, in the same order as before.
STEP 6:
To finish, pull the ends tight. Cut the excess off
with a hot knife. A good way to do this is by
heating a butter knife with a butane torch, or a
gas stove if handy. This cuts and seals the
individual strands resulting in an excellent
frayless finish.

12
STEP 7:
After you’ve spliced the rope to the chain, tie
both ends of the splice rope to prevent the rope
from loosening.
V OPERATING
1.
During operating, if the circuit breaker bounces it means the
motor is overloaded. After about 10 seconds press the button to
reset.
For free fall model only: When releasing anchor, press switch
“DOWN” and hold it to free fall the anchor to the sea bed (It is
normal for the windlass motor to be running and the clutch will
stay at open), until the current has drifted the boat to a desired
location and the anchor has cast firmly in the sea bed, release
the switch to engage the clutch.
You can set the rotatable “free fall”
switch(in the right hand side of windlass) by
a flat screw driver to be a “on” free fall
mode or “off” Power Out mode.
Note: Please free fall anchor to the bottom in one fall. (Do not
release the control switch during the anchor’s fall.
2.
Pay out the rope and chain approximate 2~3 times the water’s
depth for a firm casting while being anchored.

13
3.
Keep limbs, fingers, clothing and hair clear of the windlass and
anchor to avoid possible personal injury during operation.
4.
Tie the anchor rope firmly to the bollard when the anchor is
cast and the boat is moored. Do not allow the windlass to take
the force of a boat’s drag.
5.
When retracting the anchor, untie the rope from bollard. move
the boat above the anchor by boat’s engine power(not the
windlass power)
and switch on the windlass to drag it back. When the anchor is
close to the bow roller, slow down the roll in by pausing the
switch.

14
Note: The windlass is designed to lift the anchor rather than to
drag the boat or for mooring.
6.
If the anchor is stuck on the seabed or reef, detach it by the
boat’s engine power before operating the windlass or else it
may cause damage or the load may overstrain the windlass.
7.
After use, secure the anchor firmly in place in the boat by
extra device(such as hook, shackle…) to avoid damage caused
by anchor falling during transport.
8.
The anchor windlass is not designed for continuous operation.
Do not use for more than 15 minutes at a time under loading.
Allow an interval of 20-30minutes after each operation.
★OPERATING SAFETY IS THE FIRST PRIORITY★
VI MAINTENANCE
1.
The windlasses come with a grease lubricated gear box. There
is no need for extra lubrication
2.
In order to make the windlass perform at optimum capacity
and extend its life, use fresh water to wash off salt water after
each use.

15
3.
Periodically check the electric joiner and the silicon sealant.
