Various load conditions affect winch performance. The line pull required for a specific application depends on the weight of the load, condition of the trailer rollers, and the degree of the loading ramp incline. The chart below is based on a single line pull and is provided as a guideline in calculating pulling capabilities.

POWERWINCH RC 23 & RC30 TRAILER WINCHES
INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE UNIT
The following instructions are for standard mounting of the winch. A quick mount kit is available (p/n P7700000AJ). If installing with the quick mount kit, follow the directions with the kit. Steps 3, 4 and 6 apply when using the kit.
The winch can be mounted on the trailer in the same position and location as an existing hand winch.
1. Remove the existing hand winch.
2. Position the unit on the trailer mount stand.
3. Confirm that the winch's cable hook and the bow eye on the boat are at the same height when the boat is in the fully loaded position on the trailer.
If the bow eye is too high, extra pull is required of the winch and extra stress is exerted on the boat's stern and bow eye.
If necessary to create equal height, raise or lower the winch stand. In most cases, trailer manufacturers have adaptors available for use with a winch.
4. Confirm that there is a minimum of 12 inches clearance between the winch and the bow eye when the boat is in the fully loaded position. If necessary, extend the bow stop to obtain the clearance.
5. Bolt the unit using a minimum of two (2) 3/8" grade 5 machine bolts and lock nuts. If the existing mounting holes do not line up with the winch, use the bottom of the winch as a template and drill two (2) 7/16" holes in the mounting surface of the trailer stand.
6. If using a double line pull (using a pulley block), install a 3/8" eyebolt on the stand as close as possible to the base of the winch.

ASSEMBLING THE PULLEY BLOCK
1. Place the two screws through one of the teardrop plates and hold in place.
2. Slide a bushing over each screw.
3. Slide the pulley wheel and hook over the bushings as shown. The components fit loosely on the bushings.
4. Wrap the cable around the pulley.
5. Place the second tear drop plate over the screws and secure using the washers and nuts provided.

WIRING THE UNIT
The following instructions are for permanently wiring the winch. Two additional wiring kits are available and sold separately: A universal bumper wiring kit (p/n P7702101AJ) and a quick connect wiring harness (p/n P7866000AJ) for temporary connections. If installing one of the kits, follow the directions with the kit.
1. Attach the circuit breaker to the battery's
POSITIVE (+) post or positive (+) terminal of
the starter solenoid.
2. Attach the ground wire (black) to the vehicle frame. Clean the metal frame with a wire brush or equivalent then attach the ground lug using a 5/16" bolt and lock nut (bolt and nut not furnished).
3. Route the wire under the vehicle and along the frame. Avoid sharp edges and moving parts. Secure the wire to the frame approximately every 18" using nylon ties or equivalent.

6. Test operation using the procedure given previously.
Remote Operational Notes
The transmitter (remote) is an electronic device and should be kept dry at all times.
The remote operates best within a 10'-15' range from the winch (receiver).
Maximum operating distance is 30'-40'. Actual distance may vary depending on the environment the remote is used in.
For best operation, hold the remote level with or above the winch.
The transmitter and receiver have been tested and complies with the limits for a
Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy. There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in any particular installation. This interference may affect radio and television reception.
To prevent accidental operation of the winch and to preserve battery life, the
remote must be turned off after every use.
Replacing the Remote Battery
The remote uses a 12V size A23 battery. Batteries are available through your local battery outlets. For best performance, the battery should be changed every 3 months or twice during the boating season. Actual battery life is dependent on frequency of use, environmental conditions and the condition of the remote.
1. Remove the small screw from the back of the remote.
2. Carefully separate the two halves of the remote.
NOTE: When removing the old battery, make note of the polarity of the
battery. When inserting the new battery, place the negative end
agains the coil spring terminal.
3. ;Remove the old battery and insert the new battery.
4. Reattach the covers and screw removed previously.

OPERATING THE WINCH
WARNINGS
To avoid personal injury and property damage, clear the area around and
behind the boat of people, animals and obstructions before loading or unloading the boat.
Never stand between or behind the load or anchor point and the winch.
Serious personal injury could occur if the cable breaks.
ALWAYS wear leather gloves when handling the cable. Steel cable can
cause serious damage to hands.
NEVER use the winch alone to secure the boat to the trailer during transit.
Use separate straps or equivalent to secure the boat to the trailer.
UNLOADING THE BOAT
1. In not previously done, attach the winch cable hook to the bow eye on the boat.
2. Connect the power to the winch. The power cord plug goes into the socket on the right side of the winch.
3. Remove the tie down straps from the boat.
4. Slowly turn the clutch knob (counterclockwise) to release the winch brake.
5. Allow the boat to slide off the trailer. If necessary, the clutch knob can be tightened to slow the speed of the boat.
6. When the boat is in the water, release the cable hook.
7. Tighten the clutch control knob clockwise until finger tight to set the brake.
8. While maintaining tension in the cable, press the Roll the cable up completely. D damage to the cable and winch components could occur.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
WINCH DOES NOT OPERATE
A. Confirm power to winch
1. Check vehicle battery is fully charged
2. Confirm connections are for tight & clean.
3. Check wires are worn or bare that may cause shorts
B. Check circuit breaker at battery
Bypass circuit breaker and test winch.
Does the winch run?
CAUTION Do not operate the winch
without the circuit breaker. Removing the CB from the circuit is
ONLY for testing.
C. Check In-Line Fuse
A 5 amp in-line fuse is located under the top cover of the winch. Refer to page 11.
NOTE: If fuse blows immediately when power is applied, disconnect power
cord from winch and battery. Check the polarity of the wiring in the connector (refer to page 11). Correct as required.
LOAD SLIPS
A. Load slips during retrieval Thrust washers and thrust bearings
B. Load slips back after boat is retrieved Clutch bearing inside the 120 gear
C. Check clutch lining
The clutch lining is located on the 120 tooth gear under the LH (clutch side) of the case. Ensure that the clutch is clean free of grease.
EY FOB REMOTE DOES NOT OPERATE WINCH
For optimum performance, the remote should be operated within 10-15 feet
from winch. Refer to page 4 for additional information.

Replacing the In-Line Fuse
CAUTION
ALWAYS USE THE CORRECT RATED FUSE. USING THE WRONG FUSE CAN CAUSE THE
WINCH TO NOT OPERATE AND
An in-line fuse is located under the top cover of the unit. The in-line fuse is a standard automotive AGC glass type fuse. Required rating is 5A, 250V. Fuses are available at local automotive parts stores.
To access the fuse:
1. Disconnect the power cord from the winch.
2. Remove the four (4) T-30 torx drive screws that attach the top.
3. Lift the top up. Use care to not break or damage the wires.
4. Locate the fuse holder and open to inspect/replace the fuse.
5. Test operation of the winch.
If the fuse blows when power is applied, check the polarity of the wires in the power cord connector.
1. Disconnect the power cord from the winch AND battery.
2. Test the continuity of the cable:
Using a continuity tester,
place one probe in the negative terminal of the connector. Touch the second probe against the vehicle frame.
3. If there is no continuity, remove the cover from the plug.
4. The large diameter (8 ga) wire goes to the gold terminal (+). The small diameter (10 ga) wire goes to the silver terminal (-).
If the connector is wired correctly (step 4), but there is no continuity (step 3), the harness is defective and must be replaced.
