1. Place mounting template in desired
position on deck and secure with tape
into position. Ensure center-line of
gypsy lines up with centerline of davit
or bow roller.
IMPORTANT: Be certain anchor winch is
positioned above rope locker before drilling
any mounting holes. The anchor line and
chain will feed into rope locker through a
2

” hole in boat deck and a molded part
called the rode glide. Minimum rope locker
dimensions required for proper storage of
anchor lines are shown in Chart 1.
2. Using a punch, mark center of each
mounting hole to be drilled. Remove
template and drill holes with an electric
drill. There are three
11/32
” holes for
mounting studs, one 2

harness.
3. Place round side of insert into 2

hole and seat deck insert so lip is flush
with boat deck. The half circle portion
of deck insert must be pointing toward
bow of boat.
4. Insert three mounting studs into
threaded holes on underside of winch.
A small amount of thread locker can be
used to secure studs in housing. Use
two mounting nuts to help tighten studs
into housing as shown in Figure 2.
5. Gently guide winch over rode glide so
loop on anchor winch housing slides
over deck insert. Slide three mount-ing
studs into the three mounting holes
in deck. Feed wiring harness from
underside of winch through 5/8” hole.
6. The winch must fit squarely over deck
insert and onto deck. Slide flat washers
and lock washers onto mounting studs.
Tighten nuts to fully secure the winch to
the deck.
7. Examine winch to make sure unit is
securely fastened and that centerline of
gypsy is aligned with centerline of bow
roller or davit.
