lass there will be a complete owners' manual
in your owners packet. For more detailed
information please refer to you windlass own-
ers manual If you have a thru hull windlass
system the remote will be stored forward in the

Included on this page are some maintenance
recommendations and a troubleshooting guide.
Maintenance
General Recommendations
•
After the first two or three anchor recover-
ies, check the mounting nuts to ensure that
the windlass is still fastened tightly to your
deck, as it should now be bedded-in.
•
Regularly wash down the exterior of your
windlass with fresh water.
•
Examine all electrical connections for
possible corrosion, clean and lightly grease
as necessary.
•
Anchor rode splice should be checked regu-
larly and remade if there is any evidence of
wear.
•
The Gypsy should be examined on a reg-
ular basis, because it is a high wear item.
The Gypsy is designed for short scopes of
chain and will last longer if properly used.
Troubleshooting
Anchor Rode pays out independently while
windlass is not in use
This problem is a result of not securing the anchor
rode combined with the Gypsy Drive Cap being
slack. Tighten the Gypsy Drive Cap using the
tool provided and always secure the anchor rode
independently of the windlass whenever it is not
being deployed or recovered.
Electrical Troubleshooting
As with most electrical marine equipment the
majority of problems that arise are electrical in
nature. Therefore it is essential that the proper
voltage be maintained. The proper voltage on a 12
Volt system is 13.5 Volts. (Constant low voltage
will destroy the motor). Ensure that electrical cable
size is large enough to handle the current draw
imposed upon it and keep the voltage drop within
acceptable limits. In any circumstance voltage
drop due entirely to cable resistance should not
exceed 10%.
Follow the charts on the following page to trouble-
shoot the problem.
The windlass breaker is
located in the head/console
compartment.
