10. Bow Anchor Windlass (optional)

The anchor windlass located at the bow of the boat assists with the anchoring of your boat by
automatically raising and lowering the anchor. The windlass is operated either from the helm or by a
hand held controller located at the bow of the boat.
Operation From the Helm
To operate the windlass, the windlass breaker, located on the battery switch panel, must be turned
ON. Operation of the windlass at the helm is controlled by a momentary switch used to raise and
lower the anchor. Pushing down on the switch will lower the anchor, while pushing up on the switch
raises the anchor.
Operation From the Bow
Located in the anchor locker, there is a hand held controller, that when plugged in to the outlet, will
allow full control of the windlass. To lower the anchor, push the button with the down arrow. To raise
the anchor, push the button with the up arrow.
Before operating the windlass, make sure that the safely
lanyard is removed from the anchor
Manual operation
In the event that there is a loss of power, the windlass can still be used to raise or lower the anchor
manually. If there is a loss of power, check the windlass breaker to see if it needs to be reset. If you
reset the breaker and it continues to trip, have your authorized Uttern dealer inspect the system.
In order to manually operate the windlass and lower the anchor into the water, insert the emergency
handle (provided by the windlass manufacturer) into the star socket located at the top of the gypsy
cover and turn counter-clockwise. This loosens the clutch holding the anchor rode and chain in place
