some slack to prevent connections
being too short leaving enough room to
crimp end of wire. Install wire in boat
before crimping any connections. Use
cable ties to secure wiring to boat.
2. When running wire from solenoid to
battery, keep wire away from sources of
intense heat or areas where insulation
of wire could be worn away.
3. Once wires are run and secured,
connect wires from switch to solenoid.
4. Crimp 3/8” ring terminals to 6-gauge
red and black wire to be connected to
solenoid.
5. Attach 6-gauge red wire to post marked
“+” on solenoid. Secure with supplied
nut.
6. Attach 6-gauge black wire to post
marked “-” on solenoid. Secure with
supplied nut.
7. Attach end of the jumper with ring
terminal to terminal marked “-” on
solenoid.
8. At end of 6-gauge red wire coming from
solenoid, crimp a 3/8” ring terminal.
9. At end of 6-gauge black wire coming
from solenoid, crimp a 3/8” ring terminal.
10. Create a jumper to connect circuit
breaker to battery by cutting a 5/16” ring
terminal to each end.
11. Attach circuit breaker to jumper just
created by securing post marked “bat”
through one of the ring terminals.
Secure with nut on circuit breaker post.
12. Attach remaining 6-gauge red wire
31’, 36’, 41’, 46’ Class Anchor Winch
coming from the solenoid on circuit
breaker to post . The post on circuit
breaker marked “aux” must be
connected to this wire.
13. Protect connection by placing a piece
of 2” diameter heat shrink tube over
connection and applying heat until
tubing is secure.
14. The 6-gauge black wire from solenoid
can now be connected to negative (-)
battery terminal.
15. The 6-gauge red wire with circuit
breaker can now be connected to
positive (+) battery terminal.
16. The connections are now complete.
17. Snap control switch into switch plate and
proceed with unit test instructions.
UNIT TEST
1. Without rope or chain in gypsy, press
and hold switch in upward position. If
wiring to switch terminals is correct,
gypsy will spin counterclockwise.
2. If gypsy does not turn, but motor runs,
switch is incorrectly wired.
3. To correct, exchange locations of black
and white wires on back of switch.
4. If motor does not run, check to make
sure fuse has been installed in fuse
holder located in 16-gauge red switch
wire.
Use of rope NOT
specified by
Powerwinch® could cause unit or property
damage or personal injury and will void
warranty.
1. Feed rope through davit or bow roller
and pull toward anchor winch. Make
sure rope is not twisted or kinked and
can freely run through bow roller or
davit.
2. Lift finger and insert rope into rode
glide and down into rope locker. Allow
enough slack so rope can be tied off in
rope locker.
3. Release finger and make sure rope is
firmly seated in the gypsy.
4. Go below to rope locker and tie rope off.
5. Press switch up and begin retrieving
rope and chain into rope locker.
This product is a uniquely designed device
to raise and lower anchors using spliced
rope and chain rodes (a rode is a length of
rope and chain). It is very important that
only sizes and brands of spliced rope and
chain rodes specified by Powerwinch® are
used in this product. Use of non-specified
ropes and chains could cause reduced
levels of performance or serious personal
injury and/or property damage. Use of
non-specified ropes and chains will also
invalidate the product warranty. The ropes
and chain rodes specified for this anchor
winch are shown on page 7 in Chart 3.
Once an anchoring spot and depth is
determined, anchor may be released.
