3 Installation
Installation of a Seldén Winch must be carried out by a competent installer who has read and
understood this installation manual, the purpose and function of the winch and has checked the
loads, winch sizing and mounting requirements prior to installation.
Winch orientation, position relative to associated components and location regarding deck reinforcement
and suitability must be checked and any reinforcement work carried out prior to installation. The installer
takes full responsibility to ensure these checks have been undertaken. This may require the assistance of
aboatyardorcertiedmarineengineers.
Seldén Mast does not provide fasteners. The installer is responsible for the sourcing and specifying load
capacity of the fasteners, ensuring they are rated for the expected loads from the winch. Any fastener
should be made from marine grade stainless steel.
