On Board Systems

Fig. 5
The wind generator should be mounted in a safe
position, a minimum of 2.3 metres (7.6 feet) above the
deck and away from other obstacles which could
interfere with the blades or tail assembly (Fig. 5).
The Rutland 914i Mounting & Stays Kits (Part No.
CA-12/02 & CA-12/32) are available for deck mounting,
or short sections of stainless steel tube of 1200mm (47")
and 600mm (23") pre-drilled are also available for your
own fabrication.
Fig. 6
The Rutland 914i is designed to fit inside an
aluminium or stainless steel tube with an internal
diameter of 41mm (1⅝"). IMPORTANT: The external
diameter MUST NOT exceed 48.5mm (1⅞), see
Warning in Introduction.
Suitable tubes: Stainless Steel 1
Aluminium 1
We suggest the following mountings according to
preference and site conditions:-
Fig. 7
Push pit (Fig.6)
A suitable pole mounted to the deck with deck plates
and solid guys is the most popular method of mounting
the Windcharger on yachts, eg. Rutland 913 Mounting &
Stays Kit.
Mizzen (Fig.7)
Mizzen mounting is suitable on larger yachts, taking
advantage of greater wind flow the higher the wind
turbine is mounted.

River Boats (Fig.8)
A pivot pole is ideal for riverboats as the Windcharger
can easily be raised and lowered.
