10.2 Windlass & Bow Roller
The anchor/windlass option replaces the bow lad-
der. The windlass and anchor roller assembly is
mounted to the deck in the rope locker below the
hatch. The anchor is stored on the roller assembly
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. A
chain binder is provided between the windlass and
the roller to secure the anchor. Always make sure
the anchor is properly secured by the chain binder
when it is in the stored position on the roller.
The windlass, chain binder, anchor cleat and
rope locker is accessed by opening the hatch.
The chain binder 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 the tension on the binder, then
release the binder from the chain. To secure the
anchor in the up and stored position, raise the
anchor until it seats firmly in the roller with the
chain snug. Attach the chain binder to a link in the
Windlass & Bow Roller
chain. Before getting underway after hauling the
anchor, always make sure the binder is properly
attached to the anchor chain link and the hatch
is closed and latched.
The anchor is lowered by releasing the anchor
from the chain binder near the roller and operat-
ing the WINDLASS DOWN switch at the helm, or
the rocker switch at the bow next to the windlass.
The windlass control switches are activated and
protected by a circuit breaker in the battery switch
panel or a fuse in the power management module.
The main circuit for the windlass is protected by
a heavy duty circuit breaker in the battery switch
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
the anchor line cleat to relieve the load on the
windlass.
