Electric windlass installation

[gbillman]

I am replacing a Harken manual winch with a new Lewmar Ocean #46 electric ELS winch. Having never done this before, I was hoping to find a you tube video (or other source) illustrating the process. Unfortunately, I've been unable to locate one. Does anyone know of a source?

Download the installation manual for your new windlass. Most are pretty straight forward for installation. Best to print off the mounting template before purchasing (make sure the printed version dimensions are correct) and dry fit the template to make sure it will all work out. I did this with three models to see which was the simplest /best install before deciding on which one to buy.
