for buying the Glendinning Cablemaster. At
Glendinning, we are committed to providing you, our
customer, with a product that will yield trouble-free

Paul & John Glendinning
Welcome to the Glendinning family of quality marine
products. Your new
Cablemaster
carries the same assur-
ance of quality that has stood behind every product from
Glendinning Marine Products for over 30 years—we’re
proud of our reputation for quality products and service.
While installation on most boats is straight forward
and easy, for those perplexing situations, nothing beats a
qualified marine electrician. Using common sense about
safety and a sound mechanical approach during the
installation, the
Cablemaster
will provide many hours of
trouble-free service.
All
Cablemasters
have been designed to pay out and
retract shore power cables without overloading the motor
within the system’s power unit. Properly adjusted, a
Cablemaster
will drag 75 feet (maximum) of shore power
cable without slippage.
The
Cablemaster
consists of two major components;
the
hawse pipe
and
power unit
. The chromed hawse
pipe is designed to accommodate varying sizes of shore
power cables with the attached 30 or 50amp shore
power plug cover. Within the hawse pipe, a neoprene
gasket/wiper prevents the entrance of water and helps
clean the cable as it is retracted into the boat. When the
cable is retracted completely, the plug cover actuates the
in-limit switch which is mounted on the face of the gasket
plate inside the hawse pipe.
The drive motor, reduction gearing, guide roller
assembly and the relay assembly comprise the power
unit. The power unit is connected to the hawse pipe with
a hawse pipe clamp and a length of extruded aluminum
angle. The hawse pipe clamp allows the power unit to be
angled to either side of vertical directing the shore power
cable toward the storage compartment. The main pulley
of the
Cablemaster
is also freewheeling which allows the
cable to be manually payed in or out.
The out-limit switch is located in the guide roller
assembly. The nylon safety collar, which is installed
around the shore power cable, activates the out-limit
switch. This collar also serves as a mechanical stopping
device should the limit switch fail or should the shore
power cable be forcibly pulled outward.
