Section 10 - Anchoring Information

RAISING-Pushing the lower part of the switch will

power the anchor windlass UP. Once the anchor and

rode is secure in the UP position, the anchor lanyard

can be re-attached to the rode.

EMERGENCY OPERATION-There is a crank that

can be used in case the power to the anchor windlass

is lost. The top of the anchor windlass has a socket

reciever that mates up with the crank.

LOWERING- Turning the handle clockwise will

loosen the anchor windlass drum and allow the line

to pay out. Tension can be adjusted to allow you con-

trol of how fast the line falls.

The anchor windlass is located directly port of the

anchor locker. The anchor windlass gives you a me-

chanical means of raising and lowering the anchor.

OPERATION:

The anchor windlass is controlled by a switch lo-

cated on the helm, forward of the gear shift/throttle

control. The switch is a momentary type switch;

which means that there must be constant pressure

applied to the switch to operate the anchor windlass.

Power is controlled by a push/pull button located to

the left of the operation switch. There is a power in-

dicator light that illuminates when the switch is pow-

ered. The anchor windlass comes with an anchor lan-

yard. The anchor lanyard is a system that locks the

anchor and rode in place and secure when the boat is

underway.

LOWERING-Pushing the top part of the switch down

will power the anchor windlass DOWN. Make cer-

tain that the anchor lanyard carabiner is detached

from the chain and is clear of any moving parts of

the anchor windlass.

Anchor Windlass (optional)

DANGER

Always use the anchor windlass switch on the helm

first. If operation cannot be made from the helm, use

the hand remote located in the anchor locker. It is ad-

vised that operation of the anchor windlass be done

from inside the boat.
