The wind generator should be mounted in a safe
position, a minimum of 2.3 metres (7.6 feet)
above the deck and away from other obstacles
which could interfere with the blades or tail
assembly (Fig. 2).
The Rutland 913 Mounting Kit
(PartNo.CA-12/02) is available for deck
mounting, or short sections of stainless steel
tube of 1200mm (47”) and 600mm (23”) pre-
drilled are also available for your own
fabrication.
The Rutland 913 is designed to fit inside an
aluminium or stainless steel tube with an
internal diameter of 41mm (1
⅝
”).
IMPORTANT: The external diameter MUST
NOT exceed 48.5mm (1
⅞
), see Warning in
Introduction.

We suggest the following mountings according
to preference and site conditions:-
•
Push pit (Fig.3)
A suitable pole mounted to the deck with deck
plates and guy ropes is the most popular method
of mounting the Windcharger on yachts, eg.
Rutland 913 Mounting Kit.
•
Mizzen (Fig.4)
Mizzen mounting is suitable on larger yachts,
taking advantage of greater wind flow the
higher the wind turbine is mounted.
•
River Boats (Fig.5)
A pivot pole is ideal for riverboats as the
Windcharger can easily be raised and lowered.
