Anchor Windlass
The following instructions do not replace the information
provided in the enclosed Owner’s Manual supplied by the
Manufacturer.
◊
The Grand Soleil 46.3' is equipped with an electric (12 Volt DC)
anchor windlass type Lofran 1000 Watt for a chain of Ø 8 mm.
◊
The Anchor Windlass is located in the anchor compartment in the bow. It’s
motor is installed in a separate waterproof compartment accessible
through the sail locker (or the front cabin in the 4 cabins version).
◊
The operation of the windlass is accomplished through a control
box connected with a wire to the water proof outlet located in the
anchor locker.
◊
An additional control switch (opt) is located in the cockpit above
the engine panel (§ page
8
.3).
Instructions
• Make sure that the chain is fitted into its "wildcat" guide located
under the anchor windlass winch.
• Activate the double breaker located on the 12 Volt DC Service
Electrical Panel (§ page
7
.6)
• Use the control box in the anchor compartment or the switch in the
cockpit (Opt) to hoist or drop the anchor.
• When this operations has been completed, turn off the anchor
windlass switch on the Electrical Panel, especially if you leave the
boat unattended.
Recommendations
• When replacing the anchor chain make sure that the chain and the
wildcat on the windlass are perfectly matched (i.e. if you change
from metric to standard
USA
size): even small differences will
make the chain “jump” and prevent it for working properly.
• Whenever the yacht swings around it’s anchor, the chain will
twist. These twists in the chain might cause the chain to “jump” on
the wildcat. To prevent this, unwind the chain when the boat is
docked and the anchor just breaks the water surface.
• In the case of system failure, check that the double magneto-
thermal safety switch in the 12Vdc Electrical Panel has not tripped
automatically. If the magneto-thermal safety switch continues
tripping, locate the fault before switching it on again.
