WIRING
SAFETY
• We recommend that connection of the power lines and control circuitry to the capstan be
done by qualified technicians, to ensure reliable and safe operation of the capstan.
• Installation must be carried out in accordance with relevant local electrical requirements
(USCG, ABYC, NMMA, CE).
• A circuit breaker/isolator is required.
• Position the circuit breaker/isolator (B) no further than 1.8 m (6 ft) away from the battery
(C) in an accessible and dry location. The winch circuit requires protection provided by an
isolator switch and either a fuse or circuit breaker.
FOOTSWITCH
• For safe operation, the Footswitch (D) should be approximately 500 mm (20") from the
capstan (A).
• The below-deck part of the footswitch must be in a dry environment.
• The arrow on the footswitch should be arranged to indicate the direction of operation.
• Follow the instructions supplied with the footswitch, for steps on its installation.
MOTOR
• When tightening the cables to the motor, ensure the lower nut (A1) is secure against turning
when tightening the upper nut (B1). This will prevent damage occurring within the motor.
After all connections have been made, and the system has been tested, seal terminals against
moisture by spraying with a dry, corrosion preventative film.
TIPS
• We recommend using crimp-on ring terminals and heat shrink tubing to connect
to terminals.
• We recommend the use of chafe protection on wiring when passing through bulkheads etc.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Plan location carefully:
1. Ensure the rode will feed correctly.
2. Ensure the deck is flat. If not; install plinth to
ensure the capstan sits on a flat surface.
3. Identify any bulkheads, wiring or piping under
the deck that should be avoided.
4. Ensure the mounting area is of appropriate
strength to accommodate loads applied by
capstan/anchor and rode.
FITTING STEPS/INSTALLING STEPS

1. Use the Cut-Out Template, as a guide for
marking and cutting the holes.
2. Make sure the load is aligned with the
'To Load' arrow on Cut-Out Template.
3. Mark out the desired position for the holes.
4. Using hole saws and drill start drilling/cutting
holes in order from A to C (as marked on the
templates).
5. Seal the edges of the hole with epoxy to
avoid ingress of moisture. (Not required for
6
steel or aluminium.)
6. Use the gasket supplied to seal the capstan
to the deck. For boats of aluminium or steel
construction it is important the deckplate
assembly is insulated from the deck to
prevent electrolysis.
7. Align the deckplate with the holes cut into
deck and lower into place.
8. Fasten the deckplate to the deck using the
nuts and washers supplied. Tighten the nuts
progressively and evenly. Make sure the
installation is firm, but do not over tighten the
nuts. Do not use power tool.
Note:
1. Before cutting deck, check all underdeck clearances. Read and understand installation instructions
contained within the manual.
2. Check your marked out dimensions carefully, before cutting and drilling. Deck bolt holes must be drilled
parallel and square to mounting faces.

• Measure required length of electrical cable, use table below to select appropriate cable size.
• Cable length is total length from battery to winch then back again.
• Recommendations ensure less than 10% voltage drop at windlass motor when operating
under load.
• Recommendations based on copper conductors having an insulation thermal rating
of 90° C.
• Cables running through an engine area may need to be larger diameter
(refer to your installer).
• Use of cable diameters smaller than recommended will reduce windlass performance.
Larger cables can be used.
• Size of the recommended circuit breaker and ampacity of cable factored into calculations.

OPERATION

CAUTION
When operating capstan:
• Make sure that you do not operate the footswitch accidentally while putting
turns on the capstan.
• Keep your fingers, clothing and hair clear of the capstan.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• Start the main engine before operating the capstan.
• A circuit breaker / isolator should always be used with this capstan to protect
the motor and cables from overheating and damage.
• Always make sure the isolator switch is turned off when the system is not
being used.
• Extra turns around the drum will increase the grip and require less load on
the tail.
• Maxwell recommends clockwise rotation of the capstan.

TO HAUL IN USING THE CAPSTAN
1. Wind up to three turns of rope up the drum in the direction of pull.
2. Maintaining a light 'tailing' pull on the free end, start the capstan using the
foot switch.
3. As the capstan rotates, increase pull and 'tail' hand over hand to haul
the rope.
4. Reduce pull to slip the rope if required.
