M - 7 WINDLASS OPTION - 280H & 285S
The windlass is optional on the 280 Horizon and 285
Sundowner models. A windlass is an electrically con-
trolled winch mechanism utilized in conjunction with the
bow roller for the retrieval of the anchor. The mechanical
winch portion is mounted inside the anchor locker. The
windlass can be controlled by either a set of switches
mounted on the helm console or by the foot pedals at
the anchor locker. See Figure M5. The windlass op-
tion also comes with a rope, chain, and anchor. Refer
to the manufacturer’s literature included in the owner’s
packet for operating instructions. Please contact your
Four Winns® dealer for more information.

M - 8 DEPTHSOUNDER
The depthsounder is standard equipment on all the
Horizon and Sundowner models The depthsounder has
both audible and visual alarms. See Sections E-6H -
E-6I of this manual for additional information regarding
the operation of the specific depthsounder for your Four
Winns® model.
M - 5 ANCHOR
Four Winns® recommends a “Danforth style” 8 pound,
Attwood® “Penetrating” anchor, with a 3/8” line be used
on all the 210 Horizons - 265 Sundowner models. The
recommended line length is 100-150 feet. The 280
Horizon and 285 Sundowner models require the 13
pound Attwood® Penetrating™ anchor, with a 1/2” line.
The recommended line length is 150-300 feet. With
the windlass option the 280 Horizon and 285 Sundowner
receive a 14 pound Delta Fast Set™ by Simpson
Lawrence® with 150 feet of rope and chain. Because
of differences in style, a larger anchor may be needed
for different bottom or boating conditions.
NOTICE
A “system matched*” fluke style anchor fits in
most applications. *”System matched” means
that the designated OMC® part, anchors in this
instance, found in an OMC® parts catalog
would work in this application.
Anchors are usually a dealer installed option. Please
check with your Four Winns® dealer for his recommen-
dations.
M - 6 BOW ROLLER
The bow roller assembly is standard equipment on the
280 Horizon and 285 Sundowner models. It extends
beyond the bow. Refer to Figure M4. The 280H/285S
has an integrated bow roller/anchor chute combination.
The function of the bow roller is to allow easier retrieval
of the anchor. It also protects the hull/deck from sur-
face abrasions or gouges while either anchored or when
retrieving the anchor. Refer to manufacturer’s litera-
ture for operation, care and maintenance included in
the owner’s packet.
To prevent a possible man overboard situation,
NEVER stand on, or try to utilize the bow plat-
form area in any way while the boat is under-
way.
