CHAPTER 6

Ovcrview
If installed the windlass features a stainless steel polished “claw” style
anchor complete with swivel. This anchor has high holding power in
most seabeds.
A momentary windlass rocker switch located at the anchor locker
controls the lowering and retrieving of the anchor through the windlass.
A 50 amp breaker for windlass overcurrent protection is located at the
battery management panel (See illustration in this chapter).
There is a lanyard with a snap hook to add holding power when the
anchor is in the stored position.
The cleat is for tying off the anchor rode rather than maintaining
constant pressure on the windlass itself.
Note: Never use the windlass to break the anchor free from the bottom.
This may cause excessive strain on the windlass motor and or hardware.
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY!
ENSURE THAT ALL BODY PARTS AND CLOTHING
ARE KEPT CLEAR OF THE ANCHOR RODE
AND WINDLASS DURING OPERATION.
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY!
DO NOT “PAY OUT” THE ANCHOR UNTIL IT IS
DETERMINED THAT THERE ARE NO SWIMMERS
OR DIVERS NEAR THE AREA.
