Windlass
Windlass Switch
The windlass is operated
by a separate switch and is
protected by a 50-amp
breaker. The switch is
located at the helm. The
breaker is located on port
bulkhead in the bilge.
To operate the windlass, press the windlass toggle switch to the down position to release the anchor and line.
After dropping the anchor, be sure to tie the line off at one of the cleats. If you do not tie off at a cleat, the
constant pull against the line could cause the windlass motor to fail. To retrieve the anchor, press the windlass
switch to the up position and carefully raise the anchor up but not allowing it to hit the boat.
Refer to the owner’s manual that was provided by the manufacturer of the windlass for operational procedures
and information related to the care and maintenance of their product. When in doubt, always defer to the
windlass manufacturer’s instructions and/or recommendations.
Windlass Foot Switch (Optional)
The windlass foot switch requires the installation of the windlass with rode and chain. This feature which includes
two (2) foot switches that are installed at the helm station, lets you raise or lower the anchor simply by depressing
either the up or down foot switch.
Refer to the owner’s manual that was provided by the manufacturer of the windlass foot switch for operational
procedures and information related to the care and maintenance of their product. When in doubt, always defer to
the windlass manufacturer’s instructions and/or recommendations.
Bow Thruster (Optional)
The bow thruster comes equipped with a bow thruster and either a joystick or a touch pad control. When it comes
to docking in tight spaces, a bow thruster can be a true godsend – but its benefits don’t end there. As a growing
number of anglers are discovering, a bow thruster can also prove useful in many fishing situations. The increased
maneuverability is a great asset when working a fish.
The performance of a single- or multi-engine outboard can also be enhanced when a thruster is installed, not only
in terms of dockside maneuvering, but also when fighting fish.
To engage the thruster, press the on/off switch; the LED light will glow. To move the boat to port, turn the joystick
to the left and press the left arrow button. To move the boat to starboard, turn the joystick to the right and press
the right arrow button. When the thrust is engaged, the LED light in the switch will glow.
When the thruster is not in use, make sure to disengage the thruster by pressing the on/off switch on the joystick
panel; the LED light not glow.
The bow thruster is powered by its own dedicated battery (not included or factory installed) that is installed under
the cabin V berth. It is wired to a battery switch that is installed in the storage compartment below the dinette
seat. The battery charger charges this battery.
Refer to the owner’s manual that was provided by the manufacturer of the windlass for operational procedures
and information related to the care and maintenance of their product. When in doubt, always defer to the
windlass manufacturer’s instructions and/or recommendations.
