Exterior Equipment
heavy object in the anchor locker. Spare anchors
and weights for floating markers will bounce and
damage the hull or rope locker if they are stored
in the anchor/rope locker. Always store and se-
cure additional anchors and weights in a storage
compartment in the cockpit, as far aft as possible.
CAUTION
A LOOSE ANCHOR IN THE ANCHOR LOCKER WILL BOUNCE AND
CAN DAMAGE THE BOAT. THE ANCHOR MUST BE POSITIONED
SO IT DOES NOT REST AGAINST THE HULL SIDES AND BE
PROPERLY SECURED IN ITS CRADLE AT ALL TIMES WHEN IT
IS STORED IN THE ANCHOR LOCKER.
FROM THE ANCHOR BOUNCING IN THE ANCHOR LOCKER IS
NOT COVERED BY THE MONTEREY WARRANTY.
The forward bow ladder rests above the anchor
and anchor line when it is in the stored position.
To use the anchor, the ladder must be lifted and
rotated forward to the recess in the deployed
position to allow the anchor and anchor line to
be removed from the locker. Once the anchor is
deployed and the line secure, make sure the lad-
der is rotated to the stored position, then close
the hatch.
Periodically remove the anchor line from the
locker, rinse it with fresh water and allow it to dry
in the sun. Cleaning the anchor line regularly will
reduce odors in the locker and increase the life
of the line.
The line should also be inspected for abrasions or
signs of deterioration. Replace the line if it shows
any sign of damage or deterioration.
Bow Eye and Bow Plate
The bow eye assembly includes a stainless steel
bow plate that protects the hull from scuffs and
scratches from the trailer bow roller. Whenever
possible, the trailer bow roller should be adjusted
so that it is positioned on the plate, just below
the bow eye.
Bow Ladder
A telescoping boarding ladder is recessed into
the rope locker below the bow hatch. To use the
ladder, make sure the engine is off and the boat
is securely moored or anchored with the lines at
the bow clear of the hatch and ladder.

DAMAGE RESULTING
Open the anchor/rope locker hatch and rotate
the ladder out of the storage recess making sure
the bracket rotates with the ladder from inside
the rope locker to the deployed position in the
bow recesses, extending the ladder forward of
the rubrail. Pull to extend the ladder out to the
open position. Close and securely latch the anchor
locker hatch before using the ladder.
The ladder must be retracted and folded into the
rope locker before starting the engine.
