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.

Windlass performance is directly related to cable size and length. Voltage drop over the complete wiring run
must not exceed 10%.
5.2 Wiring
Plan the installation to suit the controls and give the operator a full view of the windlass. The wiring system
should be of the fully insulated type, which avoids possible electrolytic corrosion problems. We recommend the
use of type III stranded, tinned copper wire with copper crimp terminals. Most modern installations are negative
return (negative ground) but polarity should be checked.
Overload protection, in the form of the circuit breaker provided must be built into the windlass wiring circuit.
• Circuit breaker supplied:
Pro-Serie/Fish 700 - 50A (Part No 68000348)
Pro-Serie/Fish 1000 and Pro-Fish Pb - 70A (Part No 68000240)
• The circuit breaker should be positioned close to the battery in a dry, readily accessible place.
• The breaker must be manually reset should an overload occur that causes it to trip to the off position.
⚠ WARNING!
• If you are not sure you understand these guidelines, seek professional help. Ensure that the installation
complies with USCG, ABYC, NMMA or other local regulations.
