ALWAYS WATCH THE ANCHOR STOWING ONTO
THE BOW ROLLER
Raising the Anchor
NOTE: When retrieving the anchor, avoid overloading or
stalling the winch.
1. Check that power is turned on and that the circuit
breaker is not tripped. (Push the button on the breaker to
reset it if it’s tripped.)
2. Flip open the protective lid with the upward-facing
arrow on the deck switch (Fig. 12A). Hold the revealed
“Up” button to retrieve the rode and anchor (Fig. 12B).
3. To aid recovery, slowly and safely power the vessel at
idle speed towards the anchor but not over and beyond
as this can risk entanglement and damage to topsides.
4. Once the boat is above the anchor, it should easily
break out from the bed of water using the winch. If
the anchor is set deeply, do not overload the winch in
attempt to break it out; instead use the engine and boat
movement. Be aware of underwater obstacles, debris
and other boat’s mooring lines which may pose an
entanglement hazard.
5. Continue retrieving the anchor and rode by pressing
the “Up” button. As the chain passes through the bow
roller and into the windlass, Auto Pulse mode will be
triggered and the retrieval speed will slow. When the
anchor homes onto the bow roller it will come to a stop.
Release the “Up” button when this happens.
6. Close the protective lid of the deck switch.

Maintenance
The service period is determined by the frequency of
use. Frequent users will need to carry out maintenance
more often than weekend or casual users.
1. Check that the winch chassis mounting bolts are tight,
and tighten if required.
2. Use light machine oil sparingly to lubricate moving
parts including drum bearings and slack line sensor
pivot.
3. Examine all electrical connections to make sure they
are sound and corrosion hasn’t set in. Tighten and/or
protect connections if needed.
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR
SERVICE, ISOLATE THE WINCH FROM THE POWER
SOURCE VIA THE CIRCUIT BREAKER/ISOLATOR.
4. Check rode and rode entry guide for wear, and replace
either if severely worn.
5. Check main chassis case for damage, and replace if
needed.
6. Check the motor gearbox plastic cover for any impact
damage or cracks.
7. If any screws need to be re-engineered, use a medium
strength thread locker such as Loctite
