CAUTION
!
Unsecured open exterior doors and/
or hatches can slam closed and cause
injury or damage the boat. Most doors
and hatches are equipped with fasten-
ers, hatch lifters, snaps and/or straps
to secure them open; make sure they
are properly secured while they are
open.
Rails and Deck Hardware
Rails and deck hardware perform specific
functions. Do not use for securing fenders or
mooring lines, which must be secured to the
cleats. Make sure mooring lines are clear of
rails or stanchions, or damage can result.
Cleats are flush-mounted 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 loosening, wear
or damage. Repair or replace immediately.
WARNING
!
The cleats on your boat have not been
designed for, and are not intended to
be used for, towing. Using them for
this purpose could result in personal
injury or damage to your boat. Refer
to
Chapman Piloting & Seamanship
for proper towing procedures.
Anchor/Rope Locker
The anchor locker at the bow of the boat
can be accessed through the forward deck
hatch. An anchor chute and roller assembly is
integrated into the bow stem. The chute and
roller assembly is designed for a Delta plow
type anchor. A chain snubber is provided to
secure the anchor during storage. Use the
snubber to ensure the anchor chain is secure
before getting underway. The anchor locker
is drained by a thru-hull fitting in the hull side
near the bottom of the locker. Check it fre-
quently and keep it clean and free flowing.
The anchor must be securely stowed when
not in use.
CAUTION
!
Secure the anchor when it is stored
in its locker and make sure it does
not rest against the hull sides. If the
anchor is loose, it will bounce and
damage the boat. Damage from the
anchor bouncing in the locker is not
covered by the Tiara Yachts warranty.
Windlass
The windlass is located under the forward
deck hatch in the anchor locker. The anchor
is stored in the chute through the bow and
is raised and lowered by the windlass. The
anchor line is stored below the windlass and
routed out through the windlass to the chain
and anchor. The anchor locker is equipped
with a receptacle for the windlass remote
control.
WARNING
!

Contact with moving parts can entan-
gle and cut, resulting in loss of body

loss of blood, causing serious injury
or death. Stay clear of moving parts.
Become familiar with the safe operation of
the windlass before using it. Refer to the
windlass owner’s user manual for operating
