Windlass w/Rope & Chain
The 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.

Refer to the owner’s manual that was provided by the manufacturer of the windlass for operational
procedures and information related to the care and maintenance of their product. When in doubt, always
defer to the windlass manufacturer’s instructions and/or recommendations.
Windlass Foot Switch (Optional)
The windlass foot switch requires the installation of the windlass with
rope and chain. This feature, which includes two (2) foot switches that
are installed on the bow of the boat next to the windlass, lets you raise
or lower the anchor simply by depressing either the up or down switch.
Refer to the owner’s manual that was provided by the manufacturer of
the windlass foot switch for operational procedures and information
related to the care and maintenance of their product. When in doubt,
always defer to the component manufacturer’s instructions and/or
recommendations.
Bow Thruster (Optional)
When it comes to docking in tight spaces, a bow thruster can be a true godsend – but its benefits don’t
end there. As a growing number of anglers are discovering, a bow thruster can also prove useful in many
fishing situations. The increased maneuverability is a great asset when working a fish. The performance
of a single- or multi-engine outboard can be enhanced when a thruster is installed, not only in terms of
dockside maneuvering, but also when fighting fish. The bow thruster package includes either a joystick
control or a touch pad control.
