Introduction Congratulations on your new windlass and thank you for selecting a Side-Power Engbo windlass. We hope your windlass will meet your expectations. Please note that this requires that the windlass will be installed and used in accordance with this manual in an environment with the correct conditions for proper operations. This includes the necessary voltage capacity for the windlass motor as well as correct placement of the windlass, rope, anchor and anchor bracket.
User guide Docking with remote control 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Make sure the boat engine is running during anchoring. Decide where you want to drop anchor. Check that the safety line on the anchor has been loosened. Turn ON the main switch of the windlass. When the main switch for the windlass has been switched off, you must press down both ON buttons on the remote, before pressing DOWN button to release the anchor. Docking with fixed switch panel 1. 2. 3. 4. Press the down button for at least 1 sec.
User guide Wireless remote control RC-11E The remote is waterproof and floats if dropped into the water. It has under normal conditions an radio range of 15m. See own manual for more information. Note! Remote and receiver is normally connected and ready to use. • • Remote control is turned ON by pressing both ON buttons.F To ensure a long lifetime, the remote control switches off automatically 4 min. after the last button was pressed.
Before installation • • • • • Remember! Make sure to have all necessary tools ready Unpack and organize all components Prepare and control the areas where the different parts can be mounted. Follow the mounting instructions When winching the rope for the first time after mounting, make sure the rope is tight, so the rope is pulled inn correctly.
Before installation Anchor bracket Fit the windlass so that the rope is wound up in line with the anchor bracket (see pictures 1 and 2) – a numerous different models are available. The anchor bracket is working as a guide for the rope when the anchor is on the seabed and as a “seating point” for the anchor once it has been raised. Use of anchor bracket The bracket for the rope must be installed with the rollers outside the platform to ensure the anchor/rope run untouched of the platform.
Installation General Position the windlass as high as possible so that there is plenty of space for the rope under it. The bottom edge of the line wheel should be at least 50 cm above the surface on which the rope (or chain) is to lie. This will leave room for 50 m of 16 mm woven Robline anchor rope or approx. 30 m of chain. If the height is less than 50 cm, check that the rope (or chain) does not bunch up against the underside of the windlass. If this is the case, use a shorter rope (or chain).

Installasjon Fitting Maxi 31 The Maxi 31 is designed for fitting outside on the stern or inside on the stern side of a vertical bulkhead. The Maxi 31 has the line wheel on the right-hand side of the windlass, seen from behind. Note! Make sure to fit the windlass correctly in relation to the direction of rotation of the line wheel. (See sketch) 1. Position the windlass as high as possible on the stern. Draw around the windlass.
Installasjon Fitting Maxi 32 The Maxi 32 is designed for fitting outside on a rope box or outside/inside on a horizontal surface. The Maxi 32 has the line wheel on the right-hand side of the windlass, seen from behind. Note! Make sure to fit the windlass correctly in relation to the direction of rotation of the line wheel. (See sketch) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Remove the four 8 mm fixing bolts from the bottom of the windlass. Position the enclosed template correctly, so that the line wheel is on the correct side.
Installation Maxi 32 box Note! SP Engbo line / chain box is supplied complete with predrilled holes. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Drill a hole for the cables and run these through the hull. Use Sikaflex or similar to seal the hole for the cables. Connect the cables according to the electrical connection diagram. When fitting the fibreglass box, the open end must be fitted to the shape of the stern and fixed in position using through-and-through bolts to connect the angle bracket supplied directly to the hull.
Installation Fitting Maxi 33 The Maxi 33 is designed for horizontal installation on the fore or aft deck. Note! Make sure to fit the windlass correctly in relation to the direction of rotation of the line wheel. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Start by locating the correct position for the windlass, so that the direction of the chain is in line with the anchor bracket. Then mark the centre of the windlass. In most cases, it is simplest to use the windlass fixing plate as a template.
Installation Fitting Maxi 34G The Maxi 34-G is designed for fitting vertically on a longitudinal bulkhead with the line wheel outside and the windlass itself inside. The Maxi 34-G is available with the line wheel on the right or left-hand side of the windlass, as seen from the rear. Note! Make sure to fit the windlass correctly in relation to the direction of rotation of the line wheel. (See sketch) 1.
Installation Drawing - Maxi 34-G – line wheel, rope guide, rope guard and fixing plate Note! The bolt (pos 17) that attaches the line wheel to the axle must be secured with contact adhesive (e.g. Locktite or similar). Recommened torque for bolts, 20Nm. SP ENGBO MAXI 31 32 33 34 40 43 44 Rev3.
Installation Fitting Maxi 34-D The Maxi 34-D is designed for horizontal installation on the fore or aft deck. Note! Make sure to fit the windlass correctly in relation to the direction of rotation of the line wheel. (See sketch) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Start by locating the correct position for the windlass, so that the direction of the rope is in line with the anchor bracket. Then mark the centre of the windlass. In most cases, it is easy to use the windlass fixing plate as a template.
Installation Fitting Maxi 40 The Maxi 40 is designed for fitting inside on the stern or on the bow side of a vertical bulkhead. The Maxi 40 has the line wheel on the left-hand side of the windlass, seen from behind. Note! Make sure to fit the windlass correctly in relation to the direction of rotation of the line wheel. (See sketch) The drilling template (only applies to the Maxi 40) is designed to lie on the outside of the hull when you mark the holes.
Installation Fitting Maxi 43/44 Maxi 43 is made to simplify the fitting process. The bracket can be turned 360 degrees. It ca be mounted hanging, standing or vertically at the bulkhead. The rope guide can be turned seperately to get maximum friction in the line wheel, and also get correct direction against the rope guide. If you want the line wheel on the left side seen from stern, it is a Maxi 44.
Installation Autostopp All Side-Power Engbo Maxi windlasses feature an electronic auto stop function. An electronic auto stop switch is positioned below the windlass line wheel and registers the brass wire indicators attached to the rope. When the first brass wire indicator passes the sensor, the windlass will stop.
Installation Note! When you have used the windlass several times, the line may have stretched slightly, resulting it may be lying a little deeper in the line wheel. If the anchor does not seat firmly in the anchor bracket, you may need to post-adjust the brass wire indicator that signals the second auto stop. 20 SP ENGBO MAXI 31 32 33 34 40 43 44 Rev3.

Maintenance and service Winter storage • • • • • Remove the rope from the windlass before every period of winter storage. Soak it in a mild soap solution overnight. Then wash it in water and rinsing fluid to rinse out all the salt residue and dirt. This will keep the rope flexible for many years. At the same time, check the wire thread auto stop indicators and replace them if necessary. Before winter storage, spray the windlass and all electrical points and connections with a moisture repellent spray.
Maintenance and service Replacing the line wheels 30-series If the line guide spring (see the drawing on this page, pos. 46) is too slack, or if there is not sufficient space for the rope below the windlass, the rope can, in time, slip on the line wheel, resulting the line wheel becoming worn. If you need to replace sheaves (pos. 14 and 15), follow the procedure described below: • • • Loosen and remove the screws and washers (16 and 17). Remove the outer sheav and cover (13 and 15).
