Worth AnchorMate Anchor Reel Anchor Control System

How to Install your Worth Anchormate

Mounting hardware NOT included. For installation you will need: 3 bolts or screws to fasten the Anchormate reel - 4 bolts or screws to fasten the bow mount

Installation:

• Place Bow Mount on corner of boat, mark and drill 4 holes to match base of mount. On boats with a deck, or no opening in bow plate, drill a 3/4" hole directly beneath rear Bow Mount pulley for anchor line to pass through. Attach Bow Mount with 1/4" bolts. Self tapping sheet metal screws or wood screws may be used depending on boat's construction.
• Place Anchor Reel on either side of boat near oar locks or transom as desired. IMPORTANT! Be sure to leave clearance so that the reel will not interfere with the operation of oars or motor.
• Mark and drill three holes to match reel mounting brackets. Attach with ¼" bolts placing the 6 nylon washers on each side of hull to make installation watertight.
• Note: Although line guides are not necessary, they are recommended to keep anchor line along the side of the boat and out of the way.
• Install the pulley - We recommend the use of a swivel pulley on boats which have a deck or bow plate. To install thread anchor line from reel, through line guides and the unmounted swivel pulley (not furnished), then up through deck or bow plate, and over pulleys in bow mount as shown.
• Attach anchor, or weight, to take up line slack and cause tension on the line. Grasp swivel pulley (a tiller pulley is ideal) and position inside of bow directly beneath rear bow mount pulley. Mark holes and attach pulley. Be certain that the swivel pulley does not rub on deck or bow plate and that anchor line does not rub on edge of hole in deck.

Reel Operation Instructions:

• To release the anchor, simple turn the control button in a clockwise direction.
• The anchor will drop until you release the button or the anchor hits bottom.
• To raise the anchor, turn the handle clockwise

Note: Do not turn button or handle counter clockwise. Damage may result.

Lubrication:

The reel is factory lubricated with waterproof grease, however, periodic lubrication is required. To do this, follow the disassembly instructions. The frequency of this procedure will depend on the amount of exposure to the elements. The reel and bow fixture should be covered if possible when stored outside, and should be flushed with fresh water after each use in saltwater.
