MOUNTING
TEMPLATE
Figure 1. Pan Fisherman Mounting
MOUNTING ANCHOR WINCH ONTO
DECK
1. Locate anchor roller on deck in desired
location. Note the anchor roller must be
located on the edge of the deck for proper
fit.
2. Go below the deck and check for any
obstructions underneath the desired anchor
roller location.
3. Using a punch, mark the three anchor roller
mounting holes on the deck.
4. Remove anchor roller. Using a 1/4” drill
bit, drill the three holes.
5. Secure the anchor roller to the deck using
three 1/4-20 bolts, 1/4-20 hex nuts, 1/4”
flat washer, 1/4” lock washers.
6. Align the centerline of the anchor roller
with the centerline of the rope spool
marked on the template.
7. Go below the deck and check for any
obstructions underneath the desired
anchor winch mounting location
8. Spot and drill the holes as shown on the
template. There are four mounting holes
on the template. See Figure 1.
9. Place the anchor winch in position and bolt
to the deck using the fasteners in the kit.
To ensure the greatest strength, use fender
washers and/or marine plywood under the
deck to ensure the greatest strength and to
spread the load.
Always disconnect the
wiring harness from the
battery before attempting to install, relocate, or
service the winch.
Make sure all crimped
electrical connectors meet
manufacturer’s strength requirements
Follow order of wiring
steps to ensure power is not
applied to anchor winch until all wires and circuit
breakers are installed.
Always keep wires away
from intense sources of heat.
Be sure newly installed wires are away from any
exposed bare wires.
Never attach the circuit
breaker to the negative terminal of the battery.
Refer to Figure 2
1. Select a suitable location (console, etc.) to
locate switch. Make sure there is enough
room behind switch mounting surface for
entire switch and wires.
2. Cut a rectangle 1 1/2” high and 1” wide.
Attach the switch to the mounting plate and
slide into cut. Secure the swithplate with
the four #6-32 screws.
3. Attach the busbar to the circuit breaker
using the supplied locknut. Attach the
circuit breaker to the positive(+) battery
post.
4. Measure and cut the required red and black
wire lengths to connect the battery to the
switch.
5. Crimp the small (#10) ring terminal to one
end of the red wire and a female disconnect
to the other end.
6. Crimp the large (5/16”) ring terminal to
one end of the black wire and a female
disconnect to the other end.
7. Attach the ring terminal on the red wire to
the unused post on the circuit breaker using
a nut.
8. Connect the female disconnect on the red
wire to Terminal “C” on the back of the
switch.
9. Connect the ring terminal on the black
wire to the negative (-) battery post.
10. Connect the female disconnect on the black
wire to Terminal “D” on the back of the
switch.

WIRING SELECTION & SPECIFICATION
Do not use electrical wire
sizes or types other than
those specified in this manual. Using wire that is
too small could result in overloading and a fire.
Estimate wire length needed to run from the
battery to the switch and from the switch to the
anchor winch. The total wire length is defined
as battery to switch, switch to anchor winch,
plus the reverse direction. If the total wire
length is less than 50 ft., use #10AWG. If the
total wire length is greater than 50 ft., use #8
AWG.
Use only the supplied
or recommended circuit
breakers when installing this winch. Using
incorrect circuit breakers will result in a fire.
REMOTE SWITCH INSTALLATION AND
WIRING
The anchor winch can be mounted on the fore (front)
or the aft (rear) of the boat. It is important that the
supplied anchor roller line up with the centerline
of the rope spool for proper operation. To mount
the anchor winch, refer to Figure 1 and follow the
procedures outlined below.
