SYSTEM OPERATIONS-5
ANCHOR SYSTEM
The purpose of the Anchor System is to
make fast your yacht to the ground surface
below the water level. You may want to an-
chor your yacht for a variety of reasons, such
as an overnight stay in a harbor, stationary
fi shing or, if your yacht becomes disabled,
to remain in one identifi able location until
assistance arrives. The equipment used
in anchoring your yacht, also known as
“ground tackle”, is as follows:
• Anchor
• Anchor Chain or Line (Rode)
• Anchor Chock
• Anchor Cleat
• Anchor Safety Chain
• Anchor Windlass (Optional)
• Rope Locker
Anchor
Your 45C is equipped with a plow type an-
chor, weighing 46.6 pounds. This universal
type of anchor is very effi
cient for a variety of
bottom terrain. This is not a storm anchor.
Please refer to Chapman’s for the recom-
mended need for a storm anchor.
Anchor Chain or Line (Rode)
The Anchor Rode on your 45C may be chain,
rope, or a combination of both and, depend-
ing on the option you selected when you
purchased your yacht from your Silverton
Dealer, the length is as follows:
Standard Equipment: Three hundred
(300) feet of nylon rope, 9/16 inch in
diameter.
Optional Windlass Equipped (Standard):
Fifteen (15) feet of chain coupled to three
hundred (300) feet of nylon rope, 9/16
inch in diameter.
Optional Windlass Equipped (Optional):
Three hundred (300) feet of chain.
Anchor Chock
The Anchor Chock on your 45C is located
on the underside of the bow pulpit. The An-
chor is pulled into the chocks on the pulpit,
to steady the anchor.
