AFTER THE ANCHOR IS SET, THE WINDLASS MUST NOT BE LEFT TO TAKE THE EN-
TIRE FORCE FROM THE ANCHOR LINE. THE LINE SHOULD BE MADE FAST TO THE
ANCHOR LINE CLEAT TO RELIEVE THE LOAD ON THE WINDLASS.
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 windlass should not be used as a winch to move the boat over the anchor. The boat should be moved under
its own power to the anchor and to break the anchor loose.
DO NOT USE A WINDLASS AS A SOLE MEANS OF SECURING AN ANCHOR IN THE BOW
PULPIT. ALWAYS SECURE THE ANCHOR LINE TO A CLEAT OR CHAIN BINDER BE-
FORE OPERATING YOUR BOAT.
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 the 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.
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.
WINDSHIELD
The Pursuit is equipped with a vented heavy duty aluminum windshield. The windshield is equipped with
an opening vent panel on each side of the windshield.
The front and side wing panels are tempered safety glass. The curved glass panels on the port and starboard
side of the windshield are made of tinted acrylic plastic.
Acrylic plastic scratches easily. Never use a dry cloth or glass cleaning solutions on acrylic. Use a soft cloth
and mild soap and water for routine cleaning. Solvents and products containing ammonia can permanently
damage acrylic. Please refer to the Routine Maintenance chapter for more information on the proper care and
maintenance of acrylic plastic.
