If the Retraction notification alarm is emitted, the following
steps should be taken to retract the anchor:
1.
Press the "UP" button
on the remote or control panel. If the
anchor does not raise within two attempts;
2.
loosen the spike from the bottom by CaRefUllY shifting the boat back
and forth using the main engine power, then attempting to raise the
anchor again. This is especially useful if you are fishing in a soft or muddy
bottom structure.
3.
Remove any excessive side loads on the anchor as described above. This
generally requires backing against the current (or direction of the load)
then attempting to to retract the anchor again with side loads removed.
Other reasons for the Retraction Notification Alarm may include:
1.
battery power is low. This may induce a retraction time greater
than 10 seconds.
2.
obstructions on the anchor preventing it from retracting.
In the event the anchor cannot be retracted normally, please refer to
page 9 of this booklet for the manual retraction procedure.
