INSTALLING ANCHOR WINCH ON BOAT DECK
The anchor winch can be installed on the fore (front) or the aft (rear) of the boat.
Locate anchor roller and winch on deck in desired location. The anchor roller must be located at the edge of the deck and must be extended over the edge to allow the anchor to clear the deck when it is docked in the anchor roller.
Look below the deck and check for any obstructions underneath the desired anchor roller and winch locations. Make sure there is enough space for the rope spool on the winch to be centered on the anchor roller.
Using a marker, mark the anchor roller and winch mounting holes on the deck.
Note: There are several bolt holes in winch frame to choose from. The easiest to use are the 4 slots (2 on each end of the frame). There are also holes for the battery lead wires so you can route the wires through the deck id you desire.
Remove winch and anchor roller. Drill the holes. Bolt to deck. Use fender washers and/or marine plywood under the deck to ensure the greatest strength and to spread the load.
 
WIRING
Do not use wire sizes smaller than 14 AWG with 105 degree C rated insulation.
The wires and switch are all properly connected.
You will need to route the battery wires from the winch to battery and connect the RED positive (+) wire to the silver post on the circuit breaker.
The small hole on the buss bar (flat stamped metal part with two holes) is attached to the colored post on the circuit breaker and the large hole on the buss bar is attached to the battery positive terminal.
The BLACK negative (-) wire is attached to the battery negative terminal
 
ANCHOR ATTACHMENT
Attach the shackle to the anchor shank eye.
Tie the rope to the anchor shackle.
 
ANCHOR WINCH OPERATION
To lower the anchor press and hold the switch in the “down” position for a few seconds and release the switch.
The anchor will freefall to the lake or river bottom.
Allow the boat to drift and pull additional rope out of the winch.
To stop the rope from coming out of the winch, press the switch UP button for a couple seconds. This will lock the spool and keep it from letting more rope out.
To raise the anchor, press and hold the switch in the “up” position.
