INSTALLATION

3-8°
STEP 1
Clean the mounting surface and tape the drilling template in position so that it
matches the desired winch mounting position and orientation.
STEP 4
With the template in place, drill the Ø6.5mm holes for the M6 mounting bolts (or
9/32" holes for 1/4" bolts).
Remove the template, clean away any debris from the holes, and clean the deck
thoroughly to ensure deck sealant can adhere properly.

STEP 2
Pull back the spring-loaded release latch on the self-tailing arm with a fingertip (1), then
rotate the arm slightly in an anti-clockwise direction (2) until it can be lifted clear of the
winch (3).
STEP 5
Apply sealant under the base of the centre stem around the mounting holes, ensuring
that the drainage channels remain clean and free of sealant. For mounting on metal
surfaces, the base must also be completely isolated from the mounting surface to
prevent galvanic corrosion. Isolation is also recommended for installation on raw
carbon fibre surfaces.

STEP 3
Pull upward on the drum to remove it from the centre stem. Place the centre stem on
the template with mounting hole positions aligned, to check that orientation of rope
entry in relation to Output Drive Gear is correct.
STEP 6
Fit the winch to the deck using large washers (or backing plate) and locking nuts
below deck. Apply Tef-Gel™ under the head of each mounting fastener to isolate it
from the aluminium centre stem. To avoid wearing the anodised surface of the stem,
use a hex key to prevent the fastener from turning and use a spanner to tighten the nuts
from below.*
* 5x M6 or 1/4" Grade 316 stainless steel fasteners. Use of A4-70 DIN912 hex socket cylinder head
screws is recommended, installed at a torque setting of no more than 7.1Nm as per industry
standards.
