• MOORING WITH ELECTRIC WINDLASS
WARNING
Nobody should be aboard the tender during maneuvers car-
ried out with the davits.
Activate the windlass with the control found in the windlass locker or
from the steering station.
If the port engine is not functioning,the windlass can work on service
batteries (if available) by switching on the port engine ignition only
(the engine alarm will then sound while the windlass is in use).
NOTE: The batteries can be recharged via the generator (optional
extra) if the engines do not start.
• HEAVING UP THE ANCHOR
- Lock the cable lifter snubber.
- Ensure the chain is properly set on the cable lifter.
- Slowly go near the anchor, using your engine (Don't use your win-
dlass to winch the boat).
- Release the bridle from the chain.
- Heave the anchor completely.
- Visually check the last meters till the anchor gets into contact with
the davit.
- Secure the anchor or anchor chain to the cleat.
