The optional electronics package you have ordered on
your boat will largely determine the underwater gear that
is related to the monitoring equipment. Be sure and refer
to your documentation in your owner's packet to fi nd out
the details about this equipment.
6.5 Monitoring Equipment
The (optional) "Transducer" is used to tell the speed
of your boat. The information is passed to the speed-
ometer at the helm station, from which you are able to
monitor.
See your owner's packet for more information concern-
ing the "Transducer".
6.6 Anchor and Windlass
Your boat is equiped with a plow type anchor, which is
attached at the bow pulpit to a windlass system.
The windlass facilitates the anchoring of your boat by
automatically raising and lowering the anchor. To oper-
ate the windlass, the windlass power switch at the helm
station must be switched on.
Note: It is important that the windlass clutch is tight
for proper operation and safety. Periodically check the
clutch and tighten if necessary.
To tighten the clutch:
• With the anchor in the stowed position, tighten the
windlass clutch by inserting the emergency handle in
the clutch nut. (See Fig. 6.10) and turn clockwise.
To Operate Manually:
• Make sure that the safety hook is removed from the
anchor chain.
• Insert the emergency handle into the clutch nut.
• Turn handle clockwise to retrieve anchor.
To operate from the bow:
• Switch the power on at the controls
• Remove the safety hook
• Lift the protective cap from the foot switch and depress
the up or down switch for the desired result.
To operate from the helm:
• Make sure that the safety hook is removed from the
anchor chain
• Turn the windlass switch on
• Push the bottom of the windlass contol switch (located
on the helm) to raise the anchor. Push the top of the
switch to lower the anchor.
Maintenance:

Make sure that the power is off before performing
any maintenance or work on the windlass.
• Periodically check the motor and control box electrical
connections, remove any residue and cover connections
with a small coating of grease.
It is recommended that you, once a year, disassemble
the windlass and remove residue buildup. To perform
this maintenance follow all safety procedures and com-
plete the following:
• Using the emergency handle, unscrew the nut by turn-
ing the handle counterclockwise.
• Remove the drum, upper cone, chain wheel, and lower
cone.
• Wash down with water to remove any residue.
• Coat surfaces with a light film of lubricant.
• Reassemble the unit and tighten the clutch by turning
the handle clockwise.
Note: Refer to your Owner's / Operator's Manual in your
owner's packet for detailed information about your wind-
lass.
