• Boating, like many other activities can be hazardous. Even the correct selection, maintenance and use of proper equipment cannot eliminate the potential for danger, serious injury or death. • Lewmar windlasses are designed and supplied for anchor control in marine applications and are not to be used in conjunction with any other use.
3. Specifications 3.1 Gypsy Specifications Gypsies fitted to the V700 range of windlasses are ideally suited to handling our factory made Rope/Chain combination rodes, which consist of rope spliced to a chain tail. Ropes used must be windlass grade, medium lay nylon. Ropes from different manufacturers have wide variations in stretch and consistency in diameter.

5. Electrical wiring 5.1 Electric cable selection Lewmar recommends the installer source and install cable that meets the requirements of the standards and regulations relevant to the installation and codes of practice. The cable table gives recommended cable sizes based on total length of cable required, from the battery, following the route of the cables.

6. Operation 6.1 Operating tips Vessels at anchor will snub on the rode and this can cause slippage or apply excessive loads to the windlass. 1. When anchoring, power rode out allowing the vessel to take up stern away preventing the rode tangling with anchor.
Page 11
If it is safe to do so, let go under power by operating a ‘Down’ control. Release the control when sufficient rode has been paid out. 6.5 Lying to anchor safely Vessels at anchor will snub on the rode and this can cause slippage or apply excessive loads to the windlass.

6.6 Hauling in Untie the bridle or replace the rode in the gypsy. If it is safe to do so, operate an ‘Up’ control. The fallsafe pawl (32) does not need to be disengaged during retrieval as it will act as a ratchet. When the anchor has been retrieved and is stowed in the bow roller, the fallsafe pawl should be left engaged in the gypsy to prevent accidental deployment of the anchor whilst underway.
