Horizon 600 Anchor Windlass Manual
Vertical vs Horizontal Winches?Vertical systems have several advantages: They take up less space on deck andare easier to maintain. They are less expensive than equivalent horizontalmodels. Chain alignment for smooth chain retrieval, while important, is not ascritical as horizontal windlass alignment. With vertical systems more chain isin contact with the chainwheel thus avoiding the possibility of chain jump.Line-pull on the warping drum can be in any direction, as opposed to fore andaft only on horizontal models.Horizontal models have the advantage of being better suited to applicationswhere there is limited below deck space / accessibility, extreme deck thickness(over 200mm - 8'), or where two anchors must be handled from one winch.Frequently Asked Questions. Lewmar recommends that when mooring, the rode is attached to asuitable strong point. If using a rope / chain rode then the ropeshould be tied off to a cleat or suitable strong point. If using achain only rode then a chain stopper should be used.
If the load isleft on the windlass during mooring, shock loads could lead to damageof rode or the windlass. With rope rodes left under load in the gypsythe rope can get jammed into the gypsy causing damage to the stripper& rode when next operated. There is also a risk that the clutch nutcould come loose causing the boat to slip its mooring. Simpson Lawrence toLewmarHorizon 400 (serialprefix 528)/Horizon 500 (serial prefix 529).
