Move the boat to just above the anchor by the boat’s engine power (not wind-
lass) and switch on the windlass to lift it back
Note:
The windlass is designed to lift the anchor rather than to
drag the boat or for mooring.
6. If the anchor is stuck on the seabed or reef, detach it by the boat’s
engine power before operating the windlass or else it may cause
damage or the load may overstrain the windlass.
7.
After use, secure the anchor firmly in place
in the boat to avoid
damage causing by anchor falling during transport.
8. The anchor windlass is not designed for continuous operation for
long periods. Do not use for more than 20 minutes at a time under
loading. Allow an interval of 20 – 30 minutes after each operation.
OPERATING SAFETY IS THE FIRST
5.
When retracting the anchor, untie the rope from bollard. Then move
the boat to the position just above the anchor by boat’s engine power
(not the windlass power) and switch on the windlass to drag it back.
When the anchor is close to the bow roller,
slow down the roll in by
pausing the switch.
