11.3 Windlass & Bow Roller
Bow Roller
The bow roller is built into the hull and equipped
with hardware that allows the anchor to be oper-
ated and stored at the roller. The roller assembly,
anchor line and chain binder are concealed below
a hatch in the deck. The anchor line is stored in
the rope locker and routed out through the wind-
lass and connected to the anchor chain. A chain
binder is provided to secure the anchor. Always
make sure the anchor is properly secured by the
chain binder when it is in the stored position on
the roller.
The chain binder is accessed by opening the hatch
and is designed to connect to a link in the anchor
chain when the anchor is hauled in. To release the
binder, pull the anchor chain in slightly to relieve
the tension on the binder, then release the binder
from the chain. To secure the anchor in the up
and stored position, raise the anchor until it seats
firmly in the roller with the chain snug. Attach the
chain binder to a link in the chain. Before getting
underway after hauling the anchor, always make
sure the binder is properly attached to the anchor
chain link and the hatch is closed and latched.
Windlass
The windlass is mounted in the compartment be-
low the hatch in the deck. The anchor is stored on
the roller and raised and lowered by the windlass.
The anchor line is stored in the rope locker and
routed out through the windlass to the anchor
chain.
