INTRODUCTION
Read this manual thoroughly before installation and using the windlass. Failure to adhere to the correct procedures, recommendations and guidelines described in this Owner’s Manual may invalidate the warranty.
Correct selection of windlass together with correct installation, care in use and maintenance, are essential for long life and reliable performance.
In addition to this instruction manual, the following components should be included with the windlass:
Clutch Handle.
Bi-Square to ½ socket adaptor.
Deckplate Gasket.
Deck Cutout Details (at rear of manual)
Deck stud Kit.
- 4 x Studs
- 4 x Nuts
- 4 x Flat washers
- 4 x Spring washers
The following accessories may be required to complete your installation:
Remote up/down control panel
Circuit breaker/isolator panel
12V or 24V reversing solenoid
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The windlass must have a minimum pull capacity of three times the combined weight of the anchor and rope/chain.
Keep hands, feet, loose clothing and hair well clear of the windlass and rope/chain during operation.
Never operate the windlass from a remote station without having a clear view of the windlass.
Do NOT use the windlass as a mooring point. When anchoring or mooring, secure the line directly to a bollard or deck cleat.
Do NOT use the windlass to pull the boat forward when raising the anchor. Use the boat's engine to drive the boat up to the anchor.
Do NOT attempt to break free a fouled anchor with the windlass. Secure the line to a bollard or cleat and use the boat's engine to break the anchor out.
Always firmly tie down the anchor when under way or in heavy seas. Do not rely on the windlass as a securing device.
Always turn the circuit breaker/isolator switch off when the windlass is not in use and before you leave the boat.
Do NOT use the windlass to haul a person up a mast.
ROPE AND CHAIN SELECTION
Correct fit of rope and chain to chainwheel is essential for the windlass to operate properly.
The ground tackle should be selected taking into account: a) Boat size, displacement and windage. b) Conditions of operation such as maximum depth of water, type of bottom and likely weather conditions. c) Holding power and size of anchor, taking special note of the manufacturers’ recommendations.
Selection of chainwheel:
Part Number P103315 for :
HRC108: 14mm (9/16”)-16mm (5/8”) rope / 8mm (5/16”) chain
Part Number P103316 for :
HRC10-10: 16mm (5/8”) rope / 10mm (3/8”) chain
INSTALLATION
For automatic operation to be possible, the anchor must be self launching.
Tie the end of the anchor rope/chain to a secure fixture in the rope/chain locker.
Foredeck layout
Ensure the deck is flat, if not; a plinth (A) will be required to ensure the windlass sits on a flat surface.
A
Required clearances
Identify any bulkheads, wiring or piping under the deck that should be avoided.
Position the windlass so the rope/chain falls directly into the rope/chain locker with at least
200mm (8”) unobstructed fall.
VETUS-Maxwell APAC Ltd HRC10 Series 1
Aligning the windlass
The windlass must be positioned to allow the rope/chain to have a clear run from the bow roller (B) to the chainwheel without deflection.
The windlass must be mounted pointing in the direction of the incoming rope/chain. This arrangement allows the rope/chain to have maximum engagement with the chainwheel.
B
Installation Procedure
B
Use the Deck Cutout Details drawing, as a guide for marking and cutting the holes.
Tip : On GRP boats, running the drill in reverse first will reduce chipping of the gel coat.
Using hole saws, cut the holes for the rope/chain pipe and electrical cables.
On GRP or wooden decks, seal the edges of the holes with epoxy to avoid ingress of moisture.
Install deck studs to windlass and tighten by use of two nuts. Place the gasket onto the windlass and fit to deck.
Fasten the windlass to the deck using the nuts and washers supplied. Tighten the nuts progressively and evenly. Do NOT use power tools. Make sure the installation is firm, but do not over tighten the nuts.
Important note to Boat Builders
Experience has shown that, on long ocean deliveries as deck cargo, sulphur from the ships exhaust and condensation can damage the chrome plating and stainless steel of the windlass.
We recommend, after completing installation, you spray the top works of the windlass with CRC 3097 “long life” (or alternative) and wrap the windlass with plastic film and tape.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Installation must be carried out in accordance with USCG,
ABYC, NMMA, CE or other relevant local electrical requirements.
We recommend that connection of the power lines and control circuitry to the windlass be done by qualified technicians, to ensure reliable and safe operation of the windlass.
After all connections have been made and system tested, seal terminals against moisture by spraying with:
CRC2043 “Plasti-Coat”, CRC3013 “Soft Seal” or CRC2049
“Clear Urethane” (or alternative).
Solenoid pack (Required)
The solenoid pack (B) should be located in a dry area close to the windlass, not in the rope/chain locker.
Circuit breaker/isolator (Required)
!
FOR SAFETY - The winch circuit requires protection provided by an isolator switch and
either a fuse or circuit breaker, rated as follows:
HRC10-12V : 135amp
HRC10-24V : 80amp
Position the circuit breaker/isolator (C) no further than 1.8 m (6 ft) away from the battery (D) in an accessible and dry location.
Remote control panel (Recommended)
The remote control panel (E) should be mounted in a convenient location (such as the bridge, helm or cockpit) so that the operator can see the windlass.
Footswitch (Optional).
For safe operation, the footswitch (F) should be approximately 500 mm (20") from the windlass (A).
The below-deck part of the footswitch must be in a dry environment and the breather holes must be kept clear.
The arrows on the footswitch should be arranged to indicate the direction of operation.
Fit the switch according to the instructions supplied.
Connect wiring as shown.
Motor
When tightening the cables to the motor, ensure the lower nut (A) is secure against turning when tightening the upper nut (B). This will prevent damage occurring within the motor. Nut(B) should be tightened to 9-11Nm.

OPERATION
CAUTION:
Make sure that you do not operate the footswitch accidentally while putting extra turns on the capstan.
Keep your fingers clear of the chainwheel and/or capstan.
When operating the windlass:
-Ensure the pawl is in the disengaged position when paying out the anchor.
Raising the Anchor Manually:
Move the pawl into the engaged position.
Pawl In Disengaged position
-Do not switch immediately from one direction to the other.
Wait for the windlass to stop in one direction before applying power in the other direction.
-
Run the boat’s motor(s) at sufficient rpm to activate the charging system.
Always make sure the isolator switch is turned off when the system is not being used.
Lowering the Anchor
Insert the clutch handle into the clutch nut and tighten the clutches by turning the nut clockwise. Only tighten sufficiently so that you can easily pull up the anchor.
REMOVE THE CLUTCH HANDLE.
Operate the windlass by pressing the toggle switch down on the remote up/down control panel to pay out the rope/chain (or press the "Down" footswitch if fitted).
Pay out sufficient rope/chain to set the anchor.
Watch as the rope/chain is being fed out. Any jam might cause damage to the windlass.
Raising the Anchor
Insert the clutch handle into the clutch nut and tighten the clutches by turning the nut clockwise. Only tighten sufficiently so that you can easily pull up the anchor.
REMOVE THE CLUTCH HANDLE. NOTE: Over tightening the clutches can cause damage to the motor when docking the anchor.
Operate the windlass by pressing the toggle switch up on the remote up/down control panel (or press the "Up" footswitch if fitted).
Motor up to the anchor while retrieving it. Do not use the windlass to pull the boat to the anchor.
To avoid damaging the bow fitting, retrieve the last meter
(3’) of rope/chain slowly and take care when docking the anchor.
Note: To avoid applying the full force of the windlass to the bow fitting when docking the anchor, adjust the clutch nut so that there is some slippage when docking the anchor.
Free falling the Anchor
Insert the clutch handle into the clutch nut and loosen by slowly turning the handle anticlockwise.
Tightening the clutch nut clockwise will control the rate of descent.
CAUTION: Do not allow the chainwheel to free wheel uncontrolled as this will allow dangerously high speeds to build up.
VETUS-Maxwell APAC Ltd HRC10 Series
Insert the clutch handle into the clutch nut and turn anticlockwise to loosen the clutch. Note the chain wheel may pay out the anchor until the pawl locks into the chainwheel.
Insert the clutch handle into the outer bi-square of the chainwheel and rotate anticlockwise to pull in the line. A bisquare to ½” socket adaptor has been provided with your windlass. This can be used with any ½” ratchet to recover the rode.
Using the Capstan Drum for Rope Warping:
The capstan can be used independently from the chainwheel. This is ideal for handling mooring or docking lines, or retrieving a second anchor. For safety reasons, a footswitch is highly recommended.
To haul in using the capstan:
Make sure the anchor is secured.
Insert the clutch handle into the clutch nut and turn anticlockwise until rotation stops. This will release the mechanism so that the chainwheel remains stationary while you operate the capstan.
Take three turns of rope around the drum in a clockwise direction.
While holding the tail of the rope, press the "Up" footswitch. The capstan will rotate clockwise.
