Anchoring; Anchoring Arrangement - Sea Ray 44 Sedan Bridge Owner's Manual

17. A
NCHORING
To anchor, bring the bow into the wind or current and
put the engine in neutral. When the vessel comes to
a stop, lower the anchor from the bow. The anchor
line should be 5 to 7 times the depth of the water.
! WARNING
SINKING HAZARD – Anchor from the bow if using
one anchor. A small current can make a stern-
anchored boat unsteady; a heavy current can drag a
stern-anchored craft under water.
COLLISION HAZARD – Anchor only in areas where
your boat will not disrupt other boats. Do not anchor
in a channel or tie up to any navigational aid. It is
dangerous and illegal.
NOTICE
Use the safety hook supplied to ensure that the
anchor is held in place should the windlass fail. Do
not use the safety hook to support the anchor in a
stored position. The windlass should always support
the anchor and ensure that it is held in the roller device
securely.
