2865 DENALI
COVERED BY THE DENALI WARRANTY.
Bow Pulpit and Roller
The bow pulpit is built into the hull and is equipped
with a roller assembly that allows the anchor to be
operated and stored at the pulpit. The pulpit roller is
designed for a Delta
®
plow or a Danforth
®
style anchor.
The anchor line is stored in the rope locker and routed
out the rope locker hatch, through the roller and con-
nected to the anchor chain. A cleat or safety cable is
provided on the deck near the pulpit to secure the
anchor. Always make sure the anchor is properly
secured when it is in the stored position on the pulpit.
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, FIN-
GERS, HAIR AND CLOTHING ARE KEPT CLEAR OF THE WINDLASS AND AN-
CHOR LINE DURING OPERATION.
DO NOT USE A WINDLASS AS A SOLE MEANS OF SECURING AN ANCHOR IN
