A LOOSE ANCHOR IN THE ANCHOR LOCKER
WILL BOUNCE AND CAN DAMAGE THE BOAT.
THE ANCHOR MUST BE POSITIONED SO IT DOES
NOT REST AGAINST THE HULL SIDES AND BE
PROPERLY SECURED AT ALL TIMES WHEN IT IS
STORED IN THE ANCHOR LOCKER. DAMAGE
RESULTING FROM THE ANCHOR BOUNCING IN
THE ANCHOR LOCKER IS NOT COVERED BY THE
MONTEREY WARRANTY.
Periodically remove the anchor line from the rope
locker, rinse it with fresh water and allow it to dry
in the sun. Cleaning the anchor line regularly will
reduce odors in the anchor locker and increase
the life of the line.
The line should also be inspected for abrasions
or signs of deterioration. Replace the line if it
shows any sign of damage or deterioration. If
your boat is equipped with the optional windlass,
it is important to replace the anchor line with a
new line of the type recommended or supplied by
the windlass manufacturer.
Windlass (Optional)
The optional windlass is mounted to the deck near
the rear of the anchor roller assembly above the
rope locker. The anchor is stored on the roller as-
sembly and is raised and lowered by the windlass.
The anchor line is stored in the rope locker and
routed out through the windlass to the anchor
chain.
The anchor is lowered by releasing the anchor
from the cleat or chain binder near the roller
and operating a “DOWN” control at the helm, or
the foot switch at the bow. The windlass control
switch is activated and protected by a “push to
reset” breaker in the helm switch breaker panel.
The main circuit for the windlass is protected by a
heavy duty circuit breaker in the engine compart-
ment breaker panel.
After the anchor is set, the windlass must not be
left to take the entire force from the anchor line.
Boats lying to their anchor in a high swell or heavy
weather conditions will snub on the line. This can
cause slippage or apply excessive loads to the
windlass. The line should be made fast to a bow
cleat to relieve the load on the windlass.
The anchor is hauled in by releasing the line from
the bow cleat and operating the “UP” control at
the helm or the foot switch on the deck near the
windlass. Once the anchor is retrieved, indepen-
dently secure the anchor to the cleat to prevent it
from being accidentally released. This is especially
important while the boat is under way.
The windlass manufacturer provides an owner’s
manual with its product. It is extremely important
that you read the manual and become familiar with
the proper care and operation of the windlass.
A WINDLASS MUST BE USED WITH CARE. IT IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THE
OWNER’S MANUAL AND BECOME FAMILIAR
WITH THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PROPER
OPERATION OF THE WINDLASS BEFORE USING IT
WITH YOUR BOAT. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT LIMBS,
FINGERS, HAIR AND CLOTHING ARE KEPT CLEAR
OF THE WINDLASS AND ANCHOR LINE DURING
OPERATION.
DO NOT USE A WINDLASS AS A SOLE MEANS
OF SECURING AN ANCHOR IN THE BOW PULPIT.
ALWAYS SECURE THE ANCHOR LINE TO A CLEAT
OR CHAIN BINDER BEFORE OPERATING YOUR
BOAT.
Windshield
Your boat is equipped with a stainless steel wind-
shield with tinted glass, an opening center panel
and windshield wipers. The front and side wing
panels are tempered safety glass. The windshield
wipers should only be used when the windshield
