7.1 Deck
Rails and Deck Hardware
Rails and deck hardware perform specific
functions. Do not use for securing fenders or
mooring lines; these must be secured to the
cleats. Make sure mooring lines are clear of
rails or stanchion, or damage can result.
All the deck cleats are flush mount and must
be raised prior to use.
DO NOT use cleats or any other hardware
for the purpose of towing or being towed.
Inspect all hardware periodically for loosen-
ing, wear or damage. Repair or replace
immediately.
Anchor/Rope Locker
The anchor locker at the bow of the boat can
be accessed through the deck hatch. The
anchor locker is drained by a thru-hull fitting
in the hull side near the bottom of the locker.
Check it frequently and keep it clean and
free flowing.
Windlass (Optional)
The windlass is located under the forward
deck hatch above the rope locker. The
anchor is stored on the anchor 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 locker is equipped
with a receptacle for the windlass remote
control.
Become familiar with the safe operation of
the windless before using it. Refer to the
windlass owner's manual for use of the
windlass and remote control. The anchor is
lowered by releasing the anchor from the
cleat or chain snubber and activating the
“Deploy” switch at the helm. After the anchor
is set, do not allow the windlass to take the
force from the anchor line; secure line to
bow cleat. Secure the anchor chain when
trailering or while underway.
