Always be sure to raise and secure the anchor
prior to operating your boat. Failure to raise
and secure anchor before getting underway
could result in severe injury or damage to boat
from rebounding anchor.
Always utilize the chain stop provided with the
windlass/bow roller combination. The chain
stop prevents the anchor from accidently re-
leasing while the boat is moving thus prevent-
ing damage to the boat or possible injury or
death to individual(s) aboard the boat.

to.the.mooring.cleat..Wave.action.on.the.bow.may.lift.
