WINDLASS ANCHORING
Activate the windlass with the control found in the windlass locker or
from the steering station.
If the port engine is not functioning, the windlass can work on service
batteries (if available) by switching on the port engine ignition only
(the engine alarm will then sound while the windlass is in use).
N.B.: The batteries can be recharged via the generator (optional extra)
if the engines do not start.

HOISTING ANCHOR
- Apply the brake on the chain lifter.
- Ensure the chain is properly set on the chain gypsy.
- Slowly advance the vessel using your engine (do not use your
windlass to advance the boat).
- Release the bridle from the chain.
- Lift the anchor completely.
- Visually check the final meters until the anchor makes contact with
the davit.
- Check the position of the anchor on the stem-head fitting.
- Secure the anchor or anchor chain to the cleat.
In the case of electrical failure use the winch handle on the windlass
to lift anchor.

MAINTENANCE
After each trip rinse the windlass and dockside line with fresh water.
