3.23.4 Windlass 

！ 

Stay clear of the windlass while it is being operated 

IT IS ADVISABLE TO SWITCH THE MAIN BREAKER 

SWITCH OFF IF WINDLASS IS NOT IN USE. 

IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONNECT A SAFETY 

LANYARD TO THE ANCHOR WHEN USING THE 

BOAT AT HIGH SPEED. 

PERIODICALLY CHECK THAT THE CLUTCH OF THE 

WINDLASS IS FULLY TIGHTENED. 

To operate the windlass the ON/OFF switch must be 

on. 

Before lowering the anchor first check the suitable of the 

anchorage. Disconnect the safety lanyard from the anchor. Turn 

on the main switch and breaker. Normally the amount of chain 

required is 2-3 times the depth of water below the boat. To raise 

the anchor reverse the operation, when the anchor returns to the 

bow roller it will automatically guide itself into its parked position. 

It is important to connect a safety lanyard to the anchor. 

Neglecting to do so could result in the anchor running free and 

causing serious damage to the propellers and under water gear. 

If the windlass is overloaded or jammed the main switch will cut 

out automatically. Be extremely cautious when resetting the 

breaker, free any obstruction from the windlass.
