11.1 Deck Equipment
Rails and Deck Hardware
The rail system and hardware fittings have been
selected and installed to perform specific func -
tions. Bow and hand rails are installed to provide a
hand hold in certain areas of the boat. You should
make sure you keep at least one hand on the hand
holds as you move about the boat.
The stern of your boat is equipped with cleats that
are retractable and flush with the deck when not
in use. To use the cleats, pull up on the center
of the cleat until it locks in the mooring position.
Mooring lines should be secured to the cleats and
not to rails or stanchions. Be sure a clear lead
exists when running dock lines or anchor lines. A
line inadvertently run around a stanchion or over
the rail could cause damage.
Notice:
All fittings must be inspected periodically for
loose fit or wear and damage. Any problems
should be corrected immediately.
WARNING
MONTEREY BOATS ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH HARDWARE
DESIGNED FOR TOWING PURPOSES. THE MOORING
CLEATS ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR TOWING ANOTHER
VESSEL OR HAVING THIS BOAT TOWED.
Stainless Steel Bow Roller
The bow roller assembly is mounted to the deck at
the bow and allows the anchor to be operated and
stored at the roller. The roller is designed for a
Delta plow anchor. The anchor line is stored in the
rope locker below the windlass and routed out the
locker through the windlass and connected to the
anchor chain. A cleat and chain binder is provided
on the deck near the roller to secure the anchor.
Always make sure the anchor is properly secured
when it is in the stored position on the bow roller.
The chain binder is accessed by opening the hatch
and is designed to connect to a link in the anchor
chain when the anchor is hauled in. To release the
binder, pull the anchor chain in slightly to relieve
