a. First of all, a suitable Bow Roller must be installed to support
the anchor, chain and rope.
b. A bollard or snubbing device should be installed between the
bow roller and the windlass to tie the rope on while laying
anchor or securing the anchor in the fully raised position.
c. If you are using only chain, a chain stopper should be installed
between the bow roller and the windlass to take the drag force
away from the windlass while being anchored.
d. Make sure the anchor well or the chain locker is deep enough
to store chain and rope. The minimum depth is 40cm(1
1
/
3
ft)
to store about 30 metre(100ft) of rope. If the anchor well is not
deep enough the rope will build up very quickly and block the
entry.
