Exterior Equipment
The chain binder is accessed by opening the hatch
and is designed to connect to a link in the anchor
chain when the anchor is hauled in. To release the
binder, pull the anchor chain in slightly to relieve
the tension on the binder, then release the binder
from the chain. To secure the anchor in the up
and stored position, raise the anchor until it seats
rmly in the roller with the chain snug. Attach the
chain binder to a link in the chain. Before getting
underway after hauling the anchor, always make
sure the binder is properly attached to the anchor
chain link and the hatch is closed and latched.
Rope Locker
The anchor rope locker, windlass and windlass
switch are concealed in a recess below a hatch
in the deck. A gas spring supports the hatch in
the open position. A ush, “push to close” latch
secures the hatch in the closed position. Always
make sure the hatch is closed and latched before
operating the boat above idle speed.
The rope locker and anchor line is accessed
through an opening next to the windlass. The
anchor line is always stored in the rope locker and
there is an eye tting to secure the bitter end of
the anchor line.
The windlass recess is equipped with a faucet
plumbed to the raw water system and a special
molded compartment to accommodate a coiled
washdown hose. After the anchor is hauled
in and secured with the chain binder, use the
washdown hose to rinse the anchor, chain and
hardware. Make sure the Raw Water switch is
on before using the washdown hose. Remember
