SAFETY CABLE ATTACHMENT
When the boat is being transported by trailer, the anchor must be placed in the boat and secured. If the anchor were to break free
during trailering, it could cause serious damage and injury. An anchor safety cable is only designed to hold the anchor in place when
the boat is underway in the water and is an insufficient safety measure while trailering your boat.
It is the responsibility of the boat operator to assure the anchor is safely secured each time the anchor is retrieved. The operator
may optionally install an anchor safety cable for use while the boat is underway.
DRUM WINCH OPERATION
UP/DOWN – To lower the anchor, press and hold the button with the downward pointing arrow. Release the button when you wish
to stop letting rope out. To raise the anchor, press and hold the button with the upward pointed arrow. Release the button when
the anchor is docked or when you wish to stop the retrieval of the anchor.
Helpful hints:
1. After the anchor is deployed, avoid using the DOWN button to let rope out. Excessive powering down could create a rope
tangle. A better technique is to use FREE FALL to let more rope out.
2. Keep all surfaces clean using water, mild environmentally safe cleaners and a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Loading the rope and chain:
If there is a buildup on one side of the drum, the winch has been installed off-center. The drum must be both centered and
square to the roller or davit. Build up to one side of the drum indicates drum is not on center or not square to the roller.
If when retrieving the anchor, the drum becomes filled and the rope or chain contacts the bottom frame of the winch, you
have exceeded the drum capacity.
Anchor fails to fall
Press the DOWN switch is activated, confirm the anchor will deploy normally.
Press FREE FALL to confirm drum is released and free to spin.
