Anchoring
The 370 Outrage is equipped with a windlass, anchor,
rode and an anchor roller davit. Stow the anchor in
the davit when not in use.
NOTE:
Before using the anchor, be sure the safety
hook is removed and the anchor is secured to the
windlass chain.
To anchor, bring the bow into the wind or current and
put the engines in neutral. When the vessel comes to
a stop, lower the anchor from the bow.
Considerations
• Wind and sea conditions can affect the
boat.
• Because the boat is not moving through the
water, there is no control.
• Be sure that the anchor will hold under all
circumstances if you are leaving the boat.
• Understand the principles of rode and scope
and their effect on anchor performance.
Proper anchoring requires knowledge of RODE and
SCOPE and understanding the relationship between
rode, scope and anchor performance.
Example:
Rode length = (3 feet + 10 feet) X 7*
Rode length = 13 feet X 7*
Rode length = 91 feet
* Scope may range from 5 to 10 or more. However,
less than 5, the anchor will break out too easily.
• Be sure there is adequate rode.
• Secure rode to both the anchor and the
boat.
• Stop the boat completely before lowering
the anchor.
• Keep feet clear of lines.
• Turn on the anchor light when at anchor or
drifting (not under power) at night or in low
visibility.
NOTE: If using the windlass, refer to the windlass
operator’s manual for anchoring instructions
Lowering The Anchor
The rode
is the line connecting the anchor to the
boat. Nylon line is ideal because it is light, strong
and stretches, it also can be stored wet and is easy
to handle. Add a length of chain between the anchor
and the nylon line to prevent abrasion of the line.
The scope is technically defi ned as the ratio of rode
length to the vertical distance from the bow to the
sea fl oor. Scope also depends on the type of anchor,
tides, winds, sea conditions and type of sea fl oor the
anchor is in. Since you want to know how much rode
to use when anchoring, use this common formula:
Rode length = (bow height + water depth) X
Scope
The minimum is 5:1 for calm conditions; normal is
7:1, and severe conditions may require a 10:1.
