General Safety Issues
Read all manuals included with this product carefully.
Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the
proper use of the equipment. Only persons well
acquainted with these rules of safe operation should be
allowed to use the winch.
Rope breakage and
whiplash hazard.
1. Never stand between the load point and the
winch. If the rope breaks it could snap back with
enough force to cause severe injury or death.
Chart 1 Product Specifications
®
Deckmate 19
Anchor Winch
2. The winch is shipped with a closed loop
anchor roller. If the included anchor roller is ever
replaced it must be replaced by a closed loop
anchor roller. The closed loop anchor roller will
prevent the anchor line from snapping onto the
boat deck in the event the rope breaks.
3. Always use nylon rope specifically rated for
this product. Never substitute cable for rope.
Cable is not an acceptable anchor line because
it does not stretch and is easily frayed. If cable
breaks it can snap back with more force than nylon
rope.
4. This product is intended to lift only river &
lake anchors. Do not attempt to lift or move
people or other objects with this winch.
5. Inspect entire rope for weak or worn condition
or kinking (short tight twist or curl) before
each use. Replace worn rope with nylon rope
specifically rated for this product.
Electrical shock and fire
hazards.
1. Do not use electrical wire sizes other than those
specified in this manual. Using wire that is too
small could result in overloading and a fire.
2. Use only the supplied or recommended circuit
breakers when installing this winch. Using
incorrect circuit breakers could result in a fire.
3. Use only marine grade, fully tinned wire for
electrical connections between the battery and the
winch.
4. Make sure any crimped electrical connectors
meet manufacturer’s strength requirements.
5. Always disconnect the wiring harness from the
battery before attempting to install, relocate, or
service the winch.
Cruising and boat
trailering hazards.
1. When the boat is cruising or being trailered, the
anchor must be tied to a cleat (or other secure point)
and secured with the safety chain. If the anchor
breaks free during cruising or trailering, it will cause
serious damage and/or injury.
Anchoring hazards.
1. Always tie the anchor line off to a cleat (or other secure
point) when the boat is anchored. The winch must not be
used to hold the load of the boat while anchored. Serious
damage to the motor and/or failure of the winch could
occur.
2. Do not pull a load greater than the rating for the
winch. If the circuit breaker halts operation of the winch
during retrieval or deployment, the winch may have been
overloaded and serious damage could result.
Entanglement hazards.
1. Never place any object or tool in the rope spool
while retrieving or deploying the anchor. The tool or
object could become tangled in the rope resulting in
serious injury and/or damage to the winch.
2. Do not wear loose fitting clothing, scarves, or neck
ties during the operation of the winch. Loose clothing
may become caught in moving parts resulting in injury
or death.
3. Do not operate the winch under the influence of
drugs and/or alcohol.
