11.1 Anchor Locker 11.1 Anchor Locker 11.1 Anchor Locker 11.1 Anchor Locker 11.1 Anchor Locker
The anchor locker on your new EdgeWater 225EX has been designed for a danforth style 13 S anchor.
Your anchor line should have a shackle attached to the free end which is then attached to the eye in the
anchor locker.
Remember, your anchor line should be a minimum of 7 times the depth in which you rou-
tinely operate.
Your EdgeWater 225EX should have a minimum of 150 to 200 feet of ½” three strand nylon
line. If you routinely venture offshore, remember the 7 times depth rule. This may sound
like a lot but if your engine fails in 100 feet of water, maintaining your position will be very
important to being recovered.

Your EdgeWater 225EX may be equipped with a transom mounted swim platform. There are several
important things to remember for safe use and operation of this useful feature.
•
Always shut down the engine if persons will be using the platform. Do not just settle for the engine
being in neutral.
•
Make sure the folding ladder portion has been properly stowed before getting underway.

The trim tabs on the EdgeWater 225EX can assist the captain in maintaining trim
and level running attitude. When used in conjunction with the engine trim, a great
deal of flexibility is available to the operator. On the EdgeWater hull, the tabs are
most useful to affect lateral trim. The best results for lateral trim are usually achieved
by using only one tab. For example, if the boat is loaded heavier to the port side,
lowering the port side trim tab will elevate that side and assist the boat in running
trim and level. This is important for seaworthiness and fuel consumption. A hull is
usually more efficient when running level and with the bow at roughly 3 to 5 degrees
above level. Tabs can also be useful when running in a heavy wind, which is blowing
from the side. If the boat tends to turn into the side blowing wind, elevating the tab
on the windward side will elevate that side and assist the boat in running level.
