After the anchor is set, the windlass must not be left to take
the entire force from the anchor line. 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 line should be made fast to a bow cleat
to relieve the load on the windlass.
The anchor is hauled in by releasing the line from the bow
cleat and operating the “UP” control at the helm or the optional
foot switch on the deck near the windlass. 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. It is extremely important that you read the manual
and become familiar with the proper care and operation of the
windlass.

Windshield
Your boat is equipped with a powder coated aluminum
windshield with tinted glass and vents. Ventilation through
the windshield is provided by a manually opened vent panel
on each side of the windshield.
Refer to the Ventilation chapter for instructions on operating
the windshield vents.
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 glass. Acrylic
glass 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 glass.

The welded aluminum windshield frame is powder coated.
Powder coated aluminum is very durable and provides
excellent protection for aluminum, however, it must be
maintained properly and certain precautions must be observed
when mounting snaps or hardware to the windshield.
The windshield should be washed after each use with soap and
water to keep it clean. Saltwater allowed to remain on powder
coated aluminum will eventually penetrate the coating and
attack the aluminum, usually around fasteners and hardware
mounted to the aluminum. Snaps or any hardware mounted to
the windshield must be properly sealed and isolated with fiber
washers and caulk or a Teflon sealer to prevent salty moisture
and galvanic corrosion from damaging the powder coating
and the aluminum frame. Poor maintenance or improperly
mounted hardware and snaps can void the warranty on the
windshield.
Refer to the Routine Maintenance chapter for more information
on the care and maintenance of powder coated aluminum.
