the anchor as the line is retrieved to relieve the load on
the windlass. 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. Refer to the Operation
chapter for tips on anchoring your boat.
9.2 Hull
Boarding Ladder
The boarding ladder is mounted to the rear side of the
stern when it is in the stored position. To use the ladder,
remove it from the storage clips and slide the studs into
the ladder bracket on the port side of the transom. The
ladder floats and must be secured to the bracket in the
boarding position with a quick release pin. The ladder
bracket has a special feature that allows the ladder to
swing up in the event that the boat is operated without
removing the ladder. This helps to prevent damage to
the ladder and bracket.
Note: The ladder must be removed from the
transom bracket and properly secured to
the storage clips before starting the
engines.
9.3 Cockpit
General
The hatches in the cockpit sole deck are secured with
twist latches and flush mounted handles that store flush
in the hatch. Automatic push to close latches or draw
latches secure other cockpit hatches in the closed
position. Gas charged springs or spring struts are used
to help raise most hatches and hold them in the open
position.
Some hatch latch handles must be rotated to the correct
position to store flush. Other hatches require firm down
pressure to secure the push to close latches. Always
make sure the hatches are secured with the latches and
that the handles are in the flush position before
operating the boat above idle speed.
Transom Door
The transom door should only be operated when the
boat is not in motion. The door must be secured in
either the full “OPEN” or full “CLOSED” position. Never
leave the transom door unlatched.
