EXAMPLE:
Water Depth: Ten (10) feet.
Height of Anchor Chock Above Water:
Seven (7) feet (Approximate height of your
352).
Required Length of Anchor rode for 8:1
Ratio: 136 feet.
The procedure to properly anchor your 352
MY is as follows:
• Slowly approach your desired anchorage
from downwind and against the current, if
possible.
• Stop all forward motion of your yacht and
lower the anchor after releasing the safety
chain.
• When the anchor touches the bottom,
release suffi cient anchor rode to the desired
scope ratio while slowly operating your
yacht in reverse.
• Affi x the anchor rode to the anchor cleat
and “set” the anchor into the bottom.
• Adjust your scope ratio as needed to
completely secure your yacht.
The procedure to properly release your 352
MY from its anchorage is as follows:
• Release the anchor rode from the anchor
cleat.
• If your 352 MY is not equipped with an op-
tional anchor windlass, retrieve the anchor
rode in a hand-over-hand manner until the
anchor breaks free of the bottom.
• If your 352 MY is equipped with an option-
al anchor windlass, depress the rocker-type
switch marked “Windlass” to retrieve the
anchor rode and raise the anchor. If oper-
ating the windlass from the foot-depressed
switches, depress the GRAY switch to raise
the anchor.
• Continue retrieving the anchor rode until
the anchor breaks free of the bottom.
• Raise the anchor to its normal resting
position in its anchor chock.
• Secure the anchor safety chain to prevent
accidental release of the anchor.
In extreme wind and cur-
rent conditions, excessive force may
be applied to the anchor windlass while
retrieving the anchor rode, which could
result in damage or failure of the unit.
Avoid this excessive force by operating
your yacht slowly forward while retriev-
ing the anchor rode with the windlass op-
erated from the helm control. Be certain
to maintain tension on the anchor rode
while retrieving to allow proper operation
of the windlass. Once the anchor is free
from the bottom, cease forward motion
of your yacht.
