AVIARA OWNERS MANUAL / 180
water is pumped directly from the body of water that you are
operating in.
Before operating the boat, ensure that the anchor is rewound all
the way to avoid damage to the boat. Always re-link the safety
cable onto the chain once the anchor is fully rewound. Failure to
do so could cause extensive damage to the boat’s hull which is
not covered under warranty.
The anchor has been provided to assist boaters in remaining in a
chosen location. Boats should always be tied off to the bow and
never solely to the aft. Note that use of the anchor system will not
guarantee a properly anchored boat or that the boat will remain in a
stationary position. Environmental, bottom conditions, current and tidal
conditions must be taken into consideration when anchoring the boat.
Only properly trained operators should set the anchor for this system.
Establishing a secure anchorage requires practice. Damage to your
boat may result due to improper anchoring techniques.
Swimmers or anyone in the water in the area of the bow should
remain aware of the anchor line anytime it is deployed. Even
if it appears taut, an individual could become entangled in the
line underwater, which could result in injury or death. It is also
Once the anchor is at the bottom, set an with the appropriate line
angle, then tie the line to the cleat next to the windlass to release
pressure on the windlass system. Place the remote control back
on its mount on the port side of the bow compartment.
To rewind the anchor, release the line from the cleat. Remove
the remote control from its mount and press the up arrow.
The windlass will automatically retract the anchor line back into
the compartment below the windlass. Continue holding the
up arrow until the anchor stops retracting once it returns to its
stored position at the bow. Note that releasing the anchor from
the bottom may require shifting the boat into gear under very
limited power. Always be aware of where the anchor rope is in
the water and try to avoid putting undue stress on the windlass
system when attempting to release it from the bottom of the
body of water.
Use the washdown to clean off any seaweed or mud from the
anchor and its chain. The washdown hose is located to the right
of the windlass. Remove the lid and extract the hose from the
compartment. The nozzle for the hose is also located here.
Screw the nozzle onto the hose, toggle the power switch to
the left of the remote control, then spray down the anchor from
outside of the boat. The washdown pump is solely for the use
of cleaning off the anchor. Do not drink washdown water. This
