installed by competent marine engineers.
• Using template drill 6 x 17mm diameter bolt holes.
• Cut 260mm and 120mm diameter holes.
• With a sandwich deck construction it is important to seal the exposed surfaces.

(not supplied by Lewmar). Maximum deck thickness 200mm.
• Apply a bead of suitable sealant/bedding compound and mount the windlass through the deck.
DO NOT use a permanent
adhesive/sealant, eg. 5200.
2. Select the operating position for the band brake and insert bolts.
3. Assemble the washer and M16 nut first and secure with Loctite® threadlock to 183 Nm and then secure with
