INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ANCHOR WINCHES

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 injury and/or property damage! Retain instructions for future reference.

Unpacking - When unpacking, inspect carefully for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Make sure the winch
is correctly installed before putting unit into service.

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 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. Large 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 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

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.

WINCH DESCRIPTION

This anchor winch retrieves and deploys river and mushroom anchors using anchor rope. This anchor winch features power­up and power-down operation with a switch that is installed on the winch cover. A second switch (item T10115) can be
installed at a remote location such as at the boat’s helm.

INSTALLATION

TOOLS REQUIRED:

1. Electric Drill

2. 5/16” Drill Bit

3. Electrical Terminal Crimping Tool

4. Adjustable Wrench

5. Phillips Screw Driver

MATERIALS REQUIRED

1. Winch and Anchor Roller (included)

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

3. Shackle for anchor attachment (included).

4. Anchor (not included –up to 30 lbs for Pontoon/Coastal 35).

5. Battery Wire and Circuit Breaker (included).

INSTALLING ANCHOR WINCH ON BOAT DECK

The anchor winch can be installed on the fore (front) or the aft (rear) of the boat. It is important that the anchor roller line up
with the centerline of the rope spool for proper operation. To mount the anchor winch, follow these steps:

1. Locate anchor roller on deck in desired location. The anchor roller must be located at the edge of the deck and

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 anchor roller location. Also make

sure there is enough space for the winch to be placed in-line with rope spool centered on the anchor roller.

3. Using a marker or pencil, mark the anchor roller mounting holes on the deck.
