Anchor/Rope Locker
The anchor locker is in the bow of the boat and
accessed through a hatch in the deck. The anchor
line is always stored in the rope locker and there
anchor line. Always make sure the rope locker
and deck hatch are closed and properly latched
before getting underway.
If the anchor is stored in the anchor locker, it must
be properly secured to prevent it from bouncing
in the locker and causing damage to the hull or
anchor locker. The anchor locker is designed for
the cradle. Do not store additional anchors or any
damage the hull or rope locker if they are stored
in the anchor/rope locker. Always store and se-
cure additional anchors and weights in a storage
compartment in the cockpit, as far aft as possible.
A LOOSE ANCHOR IN THE ANCHOR LOCKER WILL BOUNCE
AND CAN DAMAGE THE BOAT. THE ANCHOR MUST BE
POSITIONED SO IT DOES NOT REST AGAINST THE HULL SIDES
AND BE PROPERLY SECURED IN ITS CRADLE AT ALL TIMES
WHEN IT IS STORED IN THE ANCHOR LOCKER. DAMAGE
RESULTING FROM THE ANCHOR BOUNCING IN THE ANCHOR
LOCKER IS NOT COVERED BY THE MONTEREY WARRANTY.
A bow ladder rests above the anchor and anchor
line when it is in the stored position on some mod-
els. To use the anchor, the ladder must be lifted
and rotated forward to the deployed position to
allow the anchor and anchor line to be removed
from the locker. Once the anchor is deployed and
the line secure, make sure the ladder is rotated to
the stored position, then close the hatch.
Periodically remove the anchor line from the
locker, rinse it with fresh water and allow it to dry
in the sun. Cleaning the anchor line regularly will
reduce odors in the locker and increase the life
of the line.
The line should also be inspected for abrasions or
signs of deterioration. Replace the line if it shows
any sign of damage or deterioration.
