In order to manually operate the windlass and lower the anchor into the water, insert the emergency
handle (provided by the windlass manufacturer) into the star socket located at the top of the gypsy
cover and turn counter-clockwise. This loosens the clutch holding the anchor rode and chain in place
and allows the anchor to be deployed into the water. The speed of the rode can be adjusted by
turning the handle clockwise. To re-engage the clutch and lock the rode from moving, turn the handle
clockwise.
To manually raise the anchor, loosen the clutch by turning the handle counter-clockwise, and pull the
anchor up into the boat. Make sure to properly feed the rode and chain through the windlass when
pulling up the anchor. When the anchor is up and stowed properly in the bow pulpit, re-engage the
clutch by turning the handle clockwise.

Your boat comes equipped with a hydraulic steering system. The basic system for a single engine boat
contains a steering wheel, a hydraulic helm pump, a hydraulic steering cylinder, and hydraulic hoses.
Operaon
When turning the steering wheel, the helm pump forces hydraulic uid through hoses to and from the
steering cylinder which is connected to the ller arm on the engine. The cylinder moves the ller arm
to either port or starboard, depending upon the direcon the steering wheel is turned.
Filling and Maintenance
A hydraulic steering system rarely needs to be relled aer the system is bled. However, if you ever
need to add uid to the system, refer to the steering manufacturer’s manual for complete
instrucons. The ll point is located on the helm itself, in front of the steering wheel.
