Cablemaster.
Welcome to the Glendinning family of quality marine
PAGE 1
products. Your new Cablemaster carries the same assur-
PAGE 1 ance of quality that has stood behind every product from
Glendinning Marine Products for over 30 years—we're
PAGE 2
proud of our reputation for quality products and service.
While installation on most boats is straight forward
PAGE 3
and easy, for those perplexing situations, nothing beats a
qualified marine electrician. Using common sense about
PAGE 3
safety and a sound mechanical approach during the
installation, the Cablemaster will provide many hours of
PAGE 3
trouble-free service.
All Cablemasters have been designed to pay out and
PAGE 3
retract shore power cables without overloading the motor
within the system's power unit. Properly adjusted, a
PAGE 4
Cablemaster will drag 75 feet (maximum) of shore power
cable without slippage.
PAGE 5
The Cablemaster consists of two major components;
the hawse pipe and power unit. The chromed hawse
PAGE 6
pipe is designed to accommodate varying sizes of shore
power cables with the attached 30 or 50amp shore
PAGE 8
power plug cover. Within the hawse pipe, a neoprene
gasket/wiper prevents the entrance of water and helps
PAGE 8
clean the cable as it is retracted into the boat. When the
cable is retracted completely, the plug cover actuates the
PAGE 9
in-limit switch which is mounted on the face of the gasket
PAGE 9 plate inside the hawse pipe.
The drive motor, reduction gearing, guide roller
PAGE 10
assembly and the relay assembly comprise the power
unit. The power unit is connected to the hawse pipe with
PAGE 10
a hawse pipe clamp and a length of extruded aluminum
angle. The hawse pipe clamp allows the power unit to be
PAGE 11
angled to either side of vertical directing the shore power
cable toward the storage compartment. The main pulley
PAGE 15
of the Cablemaster is also freewheeling which allows the
cable to be manually payed in or out.
PAGE 17
The out-limit switch is located in the guide roller
assembly. The nylon safety collar, which is installed
around the shore power cable, activates the out-limit
switch. This collar also serves as a mechanical stopping
device should the limit switch fail or should the shore
power cable be forcibly pulled outward.
