THE
ANCHOR
:
a.
Start
the
engine.
b.
Turn
on
the
circuit
breaker
for
the
windlass.
c.
Take
in
enough
chain
to
retrieve
the
snubber.
d.
Use
a
careful
combination
of
engine
power
with
the
windlass
to
retrieve
the
anchor.
If
the
anchor
is
really
stuck
in
the
mud,
you
will
hear
the
windlass
slow
under
the
load.
Immediately
stop
the
windlass
and
drive
the
boat
forward
to
free
the
anchor.
e.
With

is
retrieved
to
keep
the
boat
and
anchor
locker
clean.

the
chain
locker.
Reach
in
and
push
the
pile
of
chain
forward
every
20
‐
30
feet
of
chain.
Also
be
aware
the
lines
used
to
mark
the
chain
length
can
catch
in
the
outlet
of
the
windlass
and
may
cause
a
jam.
Just
run
the
windlass
back
out
for
a
second
to
clear.
g.
Once
the
anchor
is
out
of
the
water,
please
bring
onto
the
boat
carefully.
Slowly
pull
the
anchor
up
onto
the
rollers
using
the
power
of
the
windlass,
making
sure
it
doesn’t
swing
into
the
bow.
h.
Secure
the
anchor
by
hooking
the
snubber
onto
the
chain
and
securing
the
other
end
to
the
port
cleat
(the
chain
over
the
drum
should
not
be
the
only
thing
keeping
the
anchor
onboard).
SWITCH
THE
WINDLASS
BREAKER
“OFF”
TO
PREVENT
DRAINING
THE
START
BATTERY.
