techniques, equipment, and conditions for
safe anchoring can be found in
Chapman
Piloting & Seamanship , or through a boating
safety course.
To operate the windlass, the WINDLASS
breaker on the Master DC Panel in the
mechanical space must be switched ON.
The anchor is lowered by releasing the anchor
from the cleat or chain snubber in the locker,
and activating the windlass using the remote
switch in the anchor locker or the
WINDLASS
DEPLOY switch at the helm. After the anchor
is set, do not allow the windlass to take the
force from the anchor line; secure the rode to
the cleat in the anchor locker.
CAUTION
!
DO NOT use the windlass as the only
method of securing the anchor in the
bow pulpit. Secure the anchor line to
a cleat or chain snubber before oper-
ating your boat.
Boats at anchor in high swell conditions will
snub on the anchor line. This can cause slip-
page or apply excessive loads to the wind-
lass.
Windlasses are not designed to hold high
loads while a boat is at anchor. When the
windlass is not in use and the boat is at
anchor, the rope rode must be properly tied
off to the cleat inside the anchor locker. If
your boat is equipped with the optional all-
chain rode, the rode must be secured using
the chain stopper that is mounted forward of
the windlass.
The anchor is retrieved by releasing the line
from the bow cleat and activating the wind-
lass using the remote switch in the anchor
locker or the WINDLASS RETRIEVE switch
at the helm. Once the anchor is retrieved,
secure the anchor to the chain snubber or
bow cleat to prevent it from being released
while underway.
DO NOT use the windlass as a winch to
move the boat over the anchor. Move the
boat under its own power to the anchor and
to break the anchor loose.
