If your 330 Sport Bridge is equipped with
an optional anchor windlass, depress the
rocker-type switch marked “W indlass” to
retrieve the anchor rode and raise the anchor.
If operating the windlass from the foot-de-
pressed switches, depress the GRAY switch
to raise the anchor.
Continue retrieving the anchor rode until the
anchor breaks free of the bottom.
Raise the anchor to its normal resting posi-
tion in its anchor chock.
Secure the anchor safety chain to prevent
accidental release of the anchor.
In extreme wind and current
conditions, excessive for ce may be applied
to the anchor windlass while r etrieving the
anchor rode, which could r esult in damage
or failure of the unit. Avoid this excessive
force by operating your yacht slowly forward
while r etrieving the anchor r ode with the
windlass operated fr om the helm contr ol.
Be certain to maintain tension on the anchor
rode while retrieving to allow proper opera-
tion of the windlass. Once the anchor is free
from the bottom, cease forward motion of
your yacht.
