ANCHORING WITHOUT WINDLASS

ANCHORING WITH ELECTRIC WINDLASS
- Turn on the boat engine.
- Check that the electrical supply of the windlass is switched on (battery switch, circuit
breaker).
- Use the remote control to activate the windlass in lowering mode. Let the chain feed out
by keeping the lowering button on the remote control pressed down.
- Let the chain out while moving backwards slowly and as straight as possible.

- Before anchoring check the depth of water, the power of the current and the nature of the
sea bed.
- Anchoring manoeuvres with the electric windlass can only be carried out with the engine
running.
