Installation and Operating Instructions

Please read and save these instructions. Read carefully before attempting to assemble, install, operate or maintain this anchor
winch. Protect yourself and others by observing all safety information. Failure to comply with instructions could result in personal

SAFETY ISSUES

Read this user manual 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.

1. Never allow anyone to be positioned between the anchor and the winch. If the rope breaks it could snap back with enough

force to cause injury.

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 an anchor rope with a minimum of 500 pound tensile strength for this product. Never substitute cable for rope.

Cable is not an acceptable anchor line as it does not stretch and is easily frayed. If cable breaks it can snap back with more
force than a rope.

4. This product is intended to lift short shanked river & mushroom anchors. Do not attempt to lift or move people or other

objects.

5. Inspect entire rope for weak or worn condition or kinking (short tight twist or curl) before each use. Replace worn rope with

anchor rope with a minimum 500 lb break strength.

Electrical shock and fire hazards.

1. Do not use electrical wire sizes smaller than 14 AWG (gauge) with a 105-C temperature rating. Using wire that is too small

could result in overloading and a fire. Larger gauge wire is permitted.

2. Use the supplied circuit breaker or a 20 amp in-line fuse when installing this winch.

3. Use only suitable wire for electrical connections between the winch and battery.

4. Make sure any crimped electrical connectors meet industry strength and current requirements.

5. Always disconnect the battery lead wires from the battery before attempting to install, relocate, or service the winch.

Cruising and boat trailering hazards – As a precaution, when the boat is cruising, the anchor must be

secured with the safety cable provided. When the boat is being trailered, the anchor must be placed inside the boat or tow vehicle.
If the anchor breaks free during cruising or trailering, it could cause serious damage and/or injury.

Anchoring hazards.

1. It is a best practice to tie the anchor line off to a cleat (or other secure point) when the boat is anchored. The winch life may

be reduced if it is used to hold the load of the boat while anchored. Damage to the winch motor WILL occur if you motor
your boat while the anchor is down (dragging the anchor will damage the winch). Tying to a cleat will extend winch life and
prevent wear and possible failure.

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, the supplied circuit breaker will reset after a minute.

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.

Storage and Maintenance – For storage, it is best to disconnect positive wire from battery.

WINCH DESCRIPTION

This anchor winch retrieves and deploys river and mushroom anchors using anchor rope. This anchor winch features power-up,
power-down, and AutoDeploy operation with a switch that is installed on the winch cover. A wireless remote control is also
included which can be installed at a remote location such as at the boat’s helm that allows the same operational functions as the
cover switch.

5. 14 mm (9/16”) socket and driver

MATERIALS REQUIRED

1. Four, 8mm bolts, washers and nuts (included). Longer bolts may be required if your boat deck is very thick.

INSTALLING ANCHOR WINCH ON BOAT DECK

The anchor winch can be installed on the fore or aft of the boat. To
install the anchor winch, follow these steps:

roller must extend over the edge to allow the anchor to
clear the deck when it is docked in the anchor roller.

2. Look below the deck and check for any obstructions

underneath the desired winch location.
