The anchor is lowered by releasing the anchor
chain from the chain binder and pressing the
Windlass Down switch at the helm. The windlass
control switches are protected by a circuit breaker
in the battery switch panel.
After the anchor is set, the windlass must not
be left to take the entire force from the anchor
line. Boats lying to their anchor in a high swell
or heavy weather conditions will snub on the line.
This can cause slippage or apply excessive loads
to the windlass. The line should be made fast to
the cleat provided near the windlass to relieve the
load on the windlass.
The anchor is hauled in by releasing the line from
the cleat and pressing the Windlass Up switch.
Always start the engines before hauling the an-
chor and motor up to the anchor as the line is
retrieved to relieve the load on the windlass. Once
the anchor is retrieved, independently secure the
anchor to the chain binder to prevent it from being
accidentally released. This is especially important
while the boat is underway.
The windlass manufacturer provides an owner’s
manual with its product. It is extremely important
that you read the manual and become familiar
with the proper care and operation of the wind-
lass. Refer to the Operation chapter for tips on
anchoring your boat.

WARNING
A WINDLASS MUST BE USED WITH CARE. IT IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL AND
BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND
PROPER OPERATION OF THE WINDLASS BEFORE USING IT
WITH YOUR BOAT. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT LIMBS, FINGERS,
HAIR AND CLOTHING ARE KEPT CLEAR OF THE WINDLASS
AND ANCHOR LINE DURING OPERATION.
A PARTIALLY LOWERED AND LOOSE ANCHOR CAN CAUSE
CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE HULL. DO NOT USE A
WINDLASS AS A SOLE MEANS OF SECURING AN ANCHOR
IN THE BOW ROLLER. ALWAYS SECURE THE ANCHOR TO
THE CHAIN BINDER BEFORE OPERATING YOUR BOAT.
