Optional Windlass Deluxe Continued
The Windlass breaker is located on the battery
switch panel in the port compartment on the
side of the leaning post. The windlass solenoid
is mounted just above and to the left of the
breaker panel. For more information
on the breaker, see page 24.
Casting the Anchor:
The Anchor can be cast by using the electrical controls or manually. To operate manually, the safety lanyard must be
unhooked from chain and the clutch must be disengaged allowing the gypsy to spin free and letting the rope or chain fall into
the water. To slow the decent, the handle must be turned clockwise. To cast the anchor using the electrical power, simply
press the DOWN button on the control provided. The anchor switch is mounted on the helm station. In this manner, anchor
casting is under control and the rope or chain will uniformly descend. In order to avoid any stress on the windlass, once the
boat is anchored, fasten the chain with a chain locker or secure it in place with a rope.
Hauling the Anchor:
Turn on the engine. Make sure the clutch is engaged and remove the handle. Press the UP button on the control provided. If
the windlass slows down (during heavy lifting) wait a bit and the press the UP button again. Check the upward movement of
the chain during the last few meters in order to avoid damage to the bow.
Closing the Clutch:
The clutch provides a link between the gypsy and the main shaft. The clutch is released (disengaged) by using the clutch
handle which, when inserted into the drum or gypsy cover, must be turned counter clockwise. The clutch will be re-engaged
by turning it clockwise.
**WARNING: READ BEFORE OPERATING WINDLASS
DO NOT USE THE WINDLASS TO DRAG THE BOAT TO YOUR ANCHOR. THE PROPER METHOD IS TO USE YOUR
BOATS OWN POWER TO POSITION YOURSELF RIGHT ABOVE THE ANCHOR AND THEN USE THE WINDLASS TO
HAUL THE ANCHOR.
STAY CLEAR OF THE CHAIN, ROPES, AND GYPSY. MAKE SURE THE ELECTRICAL MOTOR IS OFF WHEN
WINDLASS IS USED MANUALLY (EVEN WHEN USING THE HANDLE TO DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH). IN FACT,
PEOPLE WITH A REMOTE CONTROL MIGHT ACCIDENTLY OPERATE THEIR CONTROL.
FASTEN THE CHAIN OR ROPE WITH THE SAFETY LANYARD BEFORE MOVING TO NAVIGATION.
DO NOT OPERATE THE WINDLASS BY USING THE ELECTRICAL POWER WHEN THE LEVER IS INSERTED INTO
THE DRUM OR IN THE COVER OF THE GYPSY.
