NSTALLATION
BEFORE installing your Cablemaster, consider the following three points:

OCATION FOR
Perhaps the prime consideration in determining the best location for mounting
your Glendinning Cablemaster is to remember that the key to a good installation is allowing enough room for the shore
power cable to coil without restriction. The power unit should be mounted directly over the storage container, but may be
offset a maximum of 20 degrees where space deems it to be necessary. Here are a few pointers to keep in mind when
looking at your boat.
M C S
INIMUM ABLE TORAGE
A. 30 amp cable — 14" x 14" (see Fig. 1)
1. For 50 feet of 30 amp 10/3, a minimum of 15" is required from guide roller
assembly to the bottom of container.
B. 50 amp cable — 18" x 18" (see Fig. 1)
1. For 75 feet of 50 amp 6/4, a minimum of 23" is required from the guide roller
assembly to the bottom of the storage container. 18" is required from the guide roller
assembly to the bottom of the storage container if a 15" x 22" diameter container is used.

UITABLE TORAGE ONTAINERS
A. Heavy duty garbage barrel
B. Round baitwell
C. Any enclosed area free of tubing, wiring or structural projections allowing the cable to free-
fall may be used. (Glueing strips of formica to 1" x 2" or 2" x 2" may be suitable in applications
where the storage area is close to the rough inside surface of a fiberglass hull)
D. Molded styrene containers (18" - 22" in diameter and in varying heights) are available from
Glendinning Marine Products, Inc. (see accessory page)

AWSE
Also be careful to remember that the selection of the hawse pipe location is in a large measure determined by the prop-
er location of the power unit and cable storage area. Be sure that the hawse pipe's location is practical for common dock-
age situations. Avoid a location where the shore power cable could present an obstacle on decks or passageways when
in use.

ONNECTION TO THE
Prior to the installation of the Cablemaster, consider how the unit is connected to the boat's electrical system (see draw-
ing right). The blunt cut end of the power cable should exit the bottom of the cable storage area. This end can be con-
nected to the Power Transfer Switch which automatically
switches power for your boat's electrical system between
the on-board generator and the shore power cable hook-up,
or connected to a junction box.
The Cablemaster is now "hard-wired" to your boat's elec-
trical system. It is no longer necessary to use the power
cord connection that was part of your yacht's power system.
The power cable must be connected to the boat AC elec-
trical system in accordance with the instructions contained
in the National Electrical Code. Care should be taken when
installing the white stop collar to ensure that no strain will be
placed upon the power cable connection to the electrical
system. (NOTE: Leave 1/2 coil in storage container when
stop collar activates out limit switch.)
