What you will need:

• Suitable Guys and Fixings
• Suitable Cable and Watertight Cable Glands (if necessary)
• Silicone Sealant
• 6mm AF Allen Key
• 2x 13mm Spanner (or adjustable spanner)
• 2x 17mm Spanner (or adjustable spanner) 913 only

Installation considerations:

• Choose a suitable location for the mounting, paying particular attention to fixing to the deek, suitable guy anchor points, and cable route.
• The mounting kit can be installed using 3 or 4, wire rope or rigid guys. Ensure the guy attachment points are as equally spaced as possible around the tube.

Fitting the deck mounting brackets:

• Choose a suitable location for fixing the deck mounting brackets.
• Place the brackets on the deck and mark the hole positions.
• Remove the brackets and drill the marked positions.
• Apply silicone sealant around the holes and the area covered by the brackets.
• Bolt the mounting brackets in position using suitable M8 fixings, ensuring a watertight
  seal.

Assemble the mounting tube:

• Before joining tubes, thread cable through top tube section; then tube joiner and then bottom tube section.
• Apply silicone grease to the aluminium tube joiner and place half way in to the mounting tube tower section, ensuring the holes in the tube align with the threaded holes in the tube joiner. This is also good practise for all stainless steel bolts.
• Secure in position using 2 of the M10 x 16mm screws and lock washers for the 910 Series or 2 of the M8 x 12 screws and lock washers for the 500 Series.
• Repeat the above procedure for the mounting tube upper section.
• Position the assembled 1nour1ting tube onto the deck mounting brackets and secure in position with the M1ox 60mm bolt and nut for the 910 Series or the M10 x 50mm bolt for the 500 Series.
• The deck brackets can be mounted at an angle if the need arises.
• Ensure tl1at the mounting tube is perfectly vertical
• Ensure that the mounting tube is braced to another vertical or horizontal structure to
  afford extra strength to the completed assembly. This has to withstand large forces during
  operation.

Fitting the stays:

• Follow the instructions for the stays kit.

Other components available:

If a full Rutland mounting kit is inappropriate for the vessel it will still be necessary to mount the Windcharger on a dedicated pole length of the correct external diameter to ensure correct blade clearance. This may be joined to an, existing structure. The following are available from your Rutland dealer : –

• 500mm Stainless Steel Tube (500 Series) Part No: CA-12/16
• 1000mm Stainless Steel Tube (500 Series) Part No: CA-12/15
• 600mm Stainless Steel Tube (910 Series) Part No: CA-12/04
• 1200mm Stainless Steel Tube (910 Series) Part No: CA-12/03

Fitting to other vessels or vehicles:

The Rutland Marine Mounting & Stays Kits were primarily designed to be fitted to yachts. It is possible to adapt them for use for Narrowboats, Motorhomes, Caravans, etc., although the stays kit may be wholly inappropriate and guys may have to be used instead. Please contact the support team at Marlee for further help.

RUTLAND MARINE MOUNTING STAYS KIT

This kit is designed for use with the Rutland Windcharger Marine Mount Pole Kit (Part Nos: CA-12/01 & CA-12/02). Please refer to installation instructions thereof. This Stays Kit is designed for attaching your Rutland Marine Matting Pole Kit to a 1″ (25mm) diameter handrail ( usually around the push-pit). It is highly recommended that the complete system is installed first without the Windcharger fitted. Read through these instructions carefully before commencing installation.

• 2x 8mm Spanner
• Measuring Tape
• Hacksaw
• Spirit Level
• 51nm drill bit

Determining the length of Stays:

When the location for the mounting pole has been established and the pole kit assembled the length of the stays must be determined.It is recommended that the angle of the stays between each other is in the range of 60 to 120° (see Fig.2) and the angle to the upright in the range of 30 to 45° (see Fig.3).

If this angle is exceeded then the stays should be cut down with a hacksaw. To determine the length fit the End Caps to the pole using the guy brackets supplied with the pole kit ( see Fig. 4) and the Hinged Rail Clamps and End Caps to the rail in the desired position (see Fig.5). Measure between the two and add 28mm x 2 to allow for the depth of the End Caps. Cut the stays to the required length and de-burr the cut ends.

Final Assembly:

• Fit the End Caps onto the Stays and secure with tl1e 3 mm Allen Key supplied.
• Usi11g a 5mm drill bit, drill the pole through each entry hole SEPARATELY.
• Insert the MS x 35mm bolt and nylock nuts
• Fit the 8mm grommet in one hole in each guy bracket.
• Attach the top End Caps to the guy brackets using M6x20 screws, washers & nyloc nuts (Fig.4).
• Attach the Hinged Rail Clamps to the rail in approximately the correct position with the PVC spacer between the clamp and rail-do not tighten at this stage (Fig.5).
• Using a sprat level ensure the pole is vertical-slide the clamps along the rail as necessary.
• When the pole is vertical tighten the clamps using the 3/16″ Allen key and flat blade screwdriver.
• Tighten the M6 nyloc nuts on the guy brackets using 10mm spanners.(see Fig.6)
  

Final Checklist & Routine Maintenance

1. Before commissioning the installation, run a final check on the tightness of all nuts, screws and grub screws. These should be checked regularly.
2. PeriodicalJy check that sleeves and brackets have not moved from their original positions.
3. Wipe down stainless steel surfaces from time to time to prevent blemishing.
