When the windlass is installed on the 278 Vista,
the recommended anchor line is 9/16" instead
of 1/2".
B. Bow Roller Assembly
The bow roller assembly is standard equipment on the
278 model and is optional on the 238 and 258 models. It
extends beyond the bow to allow easier retrieval of the
anchor. Refer to Figure J6.
C. Windlass
The windlass option is available only on the 278 Vista. A
windlass is an electrically controlled winch mechanism
for retrieving the anchor. The mechanical winch portion
is mounted on foredeck. The windlass can be controlled
by the electrical switches mounted on the helm. See
Figure J6.
To prevent personal injury, keep clear of the wind-
lass at all times.
