FEATURES:
The Attwood Anchor Rein gives immediate access to 32' of nylon
rope, neatly spooled, on a spring-loaded reel. It is ideal for an
anchor rope, tying up slips, docks and pilings, or for use as a tie
down. There are many more uses to which the Anchor Rein can
be put.
A non-abrasive, non-cutting lock device secures rope at desired
length by simply tightening the handle.
Housing made of tough plastic, with ZAMAK handle and stainless
steel ring to insure against rust and corrosion.
WARNING:
DO NOT REMOVE THE SCREW WHICH SECURES THE TWO
PLASTIC HOUSINGS TOGETHER. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE
THE SPRING LOADED REEL INSIDE THE PLASTIC HOUSINGS.
THE SPRING IS A COILED PIECE OF METAL AND CAN CAUSE
INJURY IF IT IS RELEASED FROM THE SPRING HOLDER.
TOOLS REQUIRED:
1. Drill and drill bits
2. 3/4" wrench
3. Round rasp (if needed)
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
NOTE: Before you drill a hole in your boat, BE ABSOLUTELY
CERTAIN there is room for the unit beneath the deck or gunwale
where it can be installed flush against the bottom side of the deck
of gunwale without the sides of the spool assembly being jammed
against the side of the boat. Jamming the covers against the sides
will distort the covers, binding them against the spool. This will
restrict the action of the spring and the return of the rope into the
handle. If after installation the rope does not snap back and return
fully into the handle, the following corrective steps should be taken.
Disassemble all top hardware EXCEPT the bead/D-ring assembly.
Bring unit out where you can comfortably work on it. Follow
instruction 2. Now, remove cap, screw, bead/D-ring assembly from
top of rope and withdraw rope down through the top hardware and
1/2" drilled hole. Take a 1/2" drill, or round rasp, and enlarge the
hole opposite from the direction it is binding. You can enlarge the
hole as much as 1/2" and still have enough washer to cover the
hole. This will not impair the use or function of the unit.
1. Drill a 1/2" hole at the position selected for the installation
of your unit. Determine the thickness of the hull or mounting
surface. NOTE: Thickness of mounting surface can not
exceed 1".
2. Grasp the knot and pull out 4 feet of rope. Double the rope and
tie simple overhand knot in the rope next to the gasket (see
figure 1). Allow the spring tension to pull this knot against the
gasket. This will secure the rope and give you slack to work
with, without spring tension.
3. From packaging remove:
No. 9 Sealing Washer No. 3 Bead/D-ring assembly
No. 8 Collar No. 1 Cap
No. 7 Brake No. 2 Screw
No. 6 Pusher No. 10 Spacer (rubber)
No. 5 Handle No. 11 Spacer (plastic)
4. Select a suitable spacer as follows:
• Deck thickness up to 3/8"; use No. 11 plastic spacer
• Deck thickness 3/8" to 7/8"; use No. 10 rubber spacer
• Deck thickness 7/8" to 1"; make or buy a hard spacer 3/32"
thick. 1/2" washers can be used.
5. Untie the knot at the free end of the rope and thread it through the
spacer selected above and through the hole (from the reel side)
drilled in step 1. Pull enough rope through so that you can
comfortably proceed with the next step.
6. Take loose end of the nylon rope, roll it in your fingers to help make
a point and thread it through items 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 3 (in that order),
see figure 3. NOTE: On item No. 6, be certain the rope is inserted
into the bottom or flat side. This is important as this flat side acts as
a push plug against the brake. The top side is beveled to allow the
rope smooth and easy entry back into the spool. Also, be certain
to insert the rope end into the small hole (bottom side) of the
bead/D-ring assembly. Pull two or three inches of rope through
the bead/D-ring assembly so you can work it in.
7. Take the end of the rope you have pulled through the bead/D-ring
assembly, hold and roll the very end between your fingers to make
it firm. Take a nail or awl and push down into the center of the rope
to make a pilot hole. Install the screw into the end of the rope until
it is flush. NOTE: Be very careful and particular as the flat head
screw needs to be centered where it will flare the rope top, creating
a tight wedge inside the bead/D-ring assembly. Take the cap (item
No. 1), place squarely on top of bead and snap in. Be sure cap
edges are down flush against the bead.
8. Untie the overhand knot resting against the gasket. Holding the unit
in your hand, allow the spring tension to bring it to the underneath
side of the hole drilled in the boat. With the gasket placed squarely
against the boat and the threaded hole centered, from the top side,
screw the collar through the hole into the unit. You may turn the unit
in any direction that will fit into your boat. Just be certain the gasket
fits flush against the boat so it will line up with the collar threads.
(NOTE: Do not crossthread these two pieces.) You should be able
to hand screw the collar into the unit for several turns until it is
!
