2665 DENALI 62
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/ROPE LOCKER. A LOOSE ANCHOR IN THE ANCHOR LOCKER
WILL BOUNCE AND CAN DAMAGE THE BOAT. DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THE
ANCHOR BOUNCING IN THE ANCHOR LOCKER IS NOT COVERED BY THE
DENALI WARRANTY.
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 safety cable and operating a “down” control at the
helm. The windlass control switch is located in the helm switch panel and protected by a
circuit breaker in the battery switch module.
Boats lying to their anchor in high swells 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 safety cable
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
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 ROLLER. ALWAYS SECURE THE ANCHOR LINE TO A CLEAT OR AN-
CHOR SAFETY CABLE BEFORE OPERATING YOUR BOAT.
