Anchor Windlass
Your yacht features an anchor windlass. Be sure
to read the windlass manual supplied in your
yacht’s owner’s packet for detailed operating
instructions and observe the following:
•
To haul the anchor, use engine power (not the
windlass) to move the boat to, and directly
above, the anchor. Activate the windlass to dis-
engage the anchor from the bottom by pulling it
straight up.
•
Verify that the windlass breaker is activated
before using the anchor windlass.
Davit (Option)
Your yacht may be equipped with an
optional electric davit. Before using the
davit, be sure to read the davit’s manual
which explains operation, and important
safety hazards.
Observe the following:
•
The davit control plugs into the back
side of the davit, just above the davit
base (see figure 1 at right).
•
Inspect the davit’s cable often for
wear and replace if frayed. The cable
should be kept tight and even on the
spool when under tension during
winch operation. (figure 2).
•
Secure the davit to the davit eye (located
on the transom platform) when the davit
is not in use (figure 3).
•
Secure the davit to the davit eye (located
on the transom platform) when the davit
is not in use (figure 3).

FALLING & PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD!
•
DO NOT allow passengers inside a suspended boat since falling may cause
injury or death.
•
NEVER exceed the davit’s maximum load limit.
•
Since water is heavy, lifting a dinghy to drain its bilge may exceed the davit’s
maximum load limit.
•
Use extreme caution when using the davit in rough weather or rough sea
conditions as the load may start swinging.
•
Only operate the davit when it is securely locked in the upright position.
