THE ANCHOR MUST BE POSITIONED SO IT DOES NOT REST AGAINST
THE HULL SIDES AND BE PROPERLY SECURED AT ALL TIMES WHEN
IT IS STORED IN THE ANCHOR LOCKER. A LOOSE ANCHOR IN THE AN-
CHOR LOCKER WILL BOUNCE AND CAN DAMAGE THE BOAT. DAM-
AGE RESULTING FROM THE ANCHOR BOUNCING IN THE ANCHOR
LOCKER IS NOT COVERED BY THE PURSUIT WARRANTY.
Windlass (Optional)
The optional windlass is mounted to the deck near the rear of the pulpit above the rope locker. The
anchor is stored on the pulpit and is raised and lowered by the windlass. The anchor line is stored
in the rope locker and routed out through the windlass to the anchor chain.
The anchor is lowered by releasing the anchor from the cleat or chain binder on the pulpit and
operating a “down” control at the helm. After the anchor is set, the windlass must not be left to take
the entire force from the anchor line. Boats lying to their anchor in a high swell or heavy weather
conditions will snub on the line. This can cause slippage or apply excessive loads to the windlass.
The line should be made fast to a bow cleat to relieve the load on the windlass.
The anchor is hauled in by releasing the line from the bow cleat and operating the “up” control at
the helm. Once the anchor is retrieved, independently secure the anchor to the chain binder or a
cleat to prevent it from being accidentally released. This is especially important while the boat is
under way.
The windlass manufacturer provides an owner’s manual with its product. It is extremely important
that you read the manual and become familiar with the proper care and operation of the windlass.
A WINDLASS MUST BE USED WITH CARE. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPOR-
TANT THAT YOU READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL AND BECOME FAMIL-
IAR WITH THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE
WINDLASS BEFORE USING IT WITH YOUR BOAT. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT
LIMBS, FINGERS, HAIR AND CLOTHING ARE KEPT CLEAR OF THE WIND-
LASS AND ANCHOR LINE DURING OPERATION.
DO NOT USE A WINDLASS AS A SOLE MEANS OF SECURING AN AN-
CHOR IN THE BOW PULPIT. ALWAYS SECURE THE ANCHOR LINE TO
A CLEAT OR CHAIN BINDER BEFORE OPERATING YOUR BOAT.
