ENTERTAINMENT
TV/VCR
A TV/VCR is stored in the entertainment cabinet in the salon and in the master stateroom, To use, select
channel 480 with the remote to view DVD.
ANCHORING
The primary WORKING ANCHOR is a Danforth and is attached to 300 ft chain passed through the deck
from the ANCHOR LOCKER. The locker can be accessed through the master stateroom behind mirrors. If
there is an anchor keeper, release it.
The WINDLASS POWER SWITCH is located under pilot house starboard step. At the bow, tap gently on
the ‘down’ foot control to lower the anchor. If necessary, guide the anchor over the anchor roller to prevent
binding on the pulpit.
Let out sufficient ANCHOR RODE (chain and nylon line) before setting the anchor. Colored markers are
placed every ---feet on the chain and nylon rode, indicated amount of rode. If the anchorage is crowded put
down at least a 3 to 1 scope (60 feet for 20 feet of water), back the anchor in with a short burst from the
engine. Then let out additional scope dependent upon conditions.
Before raising the anchor, ALWAYS start the engines as it uses large amounts of power. Turn on the
saltwater faucet for anchor wash down. Turn ‘on’ the WINDLASS SWITCH and as the boat moves toward
the anchor, press the ‘up’ control to take up slack line. Give the windlass short rests as you are pulling it up.
Place yourself in position to guide the anchor onto the roller. As the anchor rises, be careful not to allow it to
swing against the hull. Be sure to wash it down before it goes into anchor locker.
