Stainless Steel Bow Roller
The bow roller assembly is recessed and allows the anchor to be operated and stored at the roller.
The roller is designed for the Danforth Style
TM
anchor. The anchor line is stored in the rope locker
and routed out the rope locker hatch, through the roller and connected to the anchor chain. A cleat
or 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.
Windlass (Optional)
The optional windlass is mounted to the deck above
the rope locker. The anchor is stored on the bow
roller 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 chain binder
and operating a “down” control at the helm. The
windlass control switch is activated by a safety
switch or circuit breaker located on helm switch
panel next to the windlass switch. Turn the safety
switch or breaker on to activate the windlass control
and turn it off whenever the windlass is not in use.
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. After the anchor is set, the windlass
must not be left to take the entire force from the anchor line. 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. Once the anchor is retrieved, independently secure the anchor to a chain binder or a 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 INSTRUC-
TIONS 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.
