2.3 Installing the magnet on the anchor windlass

On a few models of anchor windlass the sensor and the magnet are already installed
(chain counter setting).Therefore, the operations described below are not necessary.
1. A hole having a diameter of 6.5 mm (~1/4") and depth of 8 mm (5/16") must be drilled on a
tooth of the gipsy, in a place outside the chain's path.
2. In the case of horizontal shaft anchor windlasses (see Fig.), drill the hole in the outer
circumference of the gipsy.
3. Also make sure that the protruding part of the magnet will not collide with the base or sensor
during rotation of the gipsy.
4. Insert the metal part of the magnet in the hole, allowing the protected part to protrude by about
2 mm. Fix it in place using an adhesive for metals (two component epoxy glue) or silicone. The
glue used must be able to withstand a marine environment.
