Electric Windlass
The electric windlass is operated from the foredeck or from either helm panel. The on/off switch on the main power
panel isolates all windlass switches. This will prevent the windlass from accidentally being operated by someone
standing on the foredeck etc. A great deal of power is required to operate the electric windlass, it is therefore
advised that you have your starboard engine running to prevent unnecessary drain on your batteries. It is good
seamanship to assist the windlass by motoring very slowly towards the anchor during recovery. Should the
windlass fail to operate check the circuit breaker mounted on the battery switch panel.
Please read the manufacturers operating and maintenance information booklet provided .
Windlasses are virtually maintenance free; only occasional inspection and greasing of moving parts is necessary.
The solenoids, which operate the winch, should occasionally have their electrical connections checked for
tightness. They should also be sprayed with a suitable moisture repellent spray.
Modifications to Electrical Circuits
Owners should not add components to the electrical circuits of the boat without reference to the current audit. This
is available from authorised Sealine dealers.
