Windlass with Rope and Chain (Optional)
The optional windlass anchor system is located on the bow. It is an electric hands free anchor system
that allows the driver to raise or lower the anchor while staying at the helm. The windlass comes with 200
feet of ½ inch line and 6 feet of ¼ inch rode.
The windlass is operated by a separate switch and is protected by a 50-amp breaker. The switch is
located at the helm. The breaker is located on the console in close proximity to the switch.
To operate the windlass, press the windlass toggle switch to the down position to release the anchor and
line. After dropping the anchor, be sure to tie the line off at one of the cleats. If you do not tie off at a
cleat, the constant pull against the line could cause the windlass motor to fail. To retrieve the anchor,
press the windlass switch to the up position and carefully raise the anchor up but not allowing it to hit the
boat.
