6.6
The optional windlass (see Fig. 6.13) facilitates the
anchoring of your boat by automatically raising and low-
ering the anchor. To operate the windlass, the Anchor
breaker switch, located on or near the Battery Switch
Panel, must be set (refer to the DC Electrical Systems
chapter of this manual).
6.5.2.1 Lowering the Anchor
Ensure the windlass breaker in ON (see DC System
chapter in this manual).
Lift the protective cap from the windlass foot switch
located on the bow near the anchorwell and depress
the down switch (Fig. 6.14).
Note: “Bump” the switch until the anchor clears the anchor roller
and hull before letting anchor down freely or it may rock back
and forth and strike the hull.

6.5.2.2 Raising the Anchor
Ensure the windlass breaker is ON (see DC System
chapter in this manual).
Start the boat engines (reduces battery load and pro-
vides boat control when anchor is freed)
Lift the protective cap from the windlass foot switch
located on the bow near the anchorwell and depress
the up switch (Fig. 6.14). Be careful as the anchor
approaches the hull and anchor roller. Continue until
the anchor properly rests in the anchor roller.
6.5.2.3 Manual Windlass Operation
In the event the windlass is not functioning normally
under power, one can manually lower or raise the anchor.
A winch lever is included with the windlass for manual
anchor deployment and maintenance of your windlass.
Please refer to OEM manual for details on manual use
and maintenance instructions and schedules.
NOTE: It is important that the windlass clutch is tight for proper
operation and safety. Periodically check the clutch and tighten
if necessary.
6.6 Keel
The keel (Fig. 6.15) provides a greater measure of lateral
stability and generally simpler and more reliable handling
of your boat. The keel design is based on the boat’s
weight and sail plan while minimizing draft. Hunter’s
standard keel is the shoal keel with available options of a
deep keel or bilge keels.
The keel is fabricated with a configuration of large bolts
and mounted to the hull’s keel sump. Keel bolt nuts
should be checked periodically to counter any thread
slippage (Fig. 6.16) (see the Maintenance chapter in this
manual for details on keel bolt specs). Removal, installa-
tion and nut adjustments of the keel should be performed
by trained and competent professionals.
