to run the windlass. Please run the engine @1500 rpm for 15 min, and try again. If the
windlass still refuses to operate, please call technical support.
Manual operation of the windlass
If you lose power to your windlass, start the engine and give it to 2000rpm in neutral, to make
sure you have not just got a low battery voltage. Then make sure the windlass breaker with
the anchor icon is in the 'on' position on the 12 volt panel. If there is still no power, check the
the windlass fuse in on position. If you still have no power, you can operate the windlass
manually.
To drop the anchor, insert the windlass handle into the star fitting on the top of the windlass.
Continue to pull back on the windlass handle, so that the brake cap loosens. Your anchor is
now ready to drop.
Remove the safety line and push the anchor over the bow, keeping hands and feet clear.
Control the rate the chain pays out by tightening or loosening the brake with the windlass
handle.
When you have paid out sufficient chain - 3 to 5 times the water depth, push the handle
forward to tighten the brake. Increase revs to 1500 rpm, to set the anchor. If you drag, pay
out more chain, and re-try 1500 rpm in reverse. When the anchor is set, fit the snubbing line,
and cleat it off, then release the chain on the gypsy as above, so that the load is taken up on
the snubbing line.
