The warping drum can be used
regardless of the gipsy, to help the
mooring manoeuvres.
1 – Tighten the brake and make sure
that the anchor is appropriately blocked.
2 - Disengage the clutch. This operation
will make the drum independent of the
gipsy.
3 – Turn clockwise around the drum
with three laps of rope.
4 – By keeping the end of the rope,
press the UP button and carry out the
mooring manoeuvre.
5 – Once the manoeuvre is ended,
remove the rope from the drum and
fasten it to a bollard.
6 – Deactivate the safety switch.
Always remove the manoeuvre
handle when not in use.

During mooring, the load
on the chain can be very high
due to current, wind
and waves.
mooring, do not use the anchor
windlass as strong point but always
use a chain stopper.
If during recovery, the anchor
windlass should block, slip or turn
into self-protection mode, check the
cause before proceeding.
1 – By paying out the chain, it is
necessary to manoeuvre so that the
chain is laid down on the seabed
without heaping on itself.
2 - To ease the recovery and not
overloading the capstan, steer up in a
way that the boat slowly moves on the
vertical of the anchor.
3 – When the anchor is in the vicinity of
the bow roller, slow down the recovery
to check at best the insertion of the
anchor into the seat.
