The 58DB is equipped with a windlass and an
anchor chute . Stow the anchor in the chute when
not in use. See Manufacturer's Operator/Owners
Manual for specific details.
NOTE: Before using the anchor, be sure the anchor
safety hook is removed from the anchor, the chain
stop is released from the chain and the anchor is
secured to the windlass chain.

NCHORING
Proper anchoring requires kowledge of RODE and
SCOPE. Read this section carefully, understanding
the relationship between rode, scope and anchor
performance. The rode is the line connecting the
anchor to the boat. The 58 DB utilizes an all-chain
anchor rode.
The scope is technically defined as the ratio of the
rode length to the vertical distance from the bow to
the sea floor. Since you want to know how much
rode to use when anchoring, the formula is:

Rode Length = (Bow Height + Water Depth) x Scope
•
Scope depends on the type of anchor,
bottom, tide, wind and sea conditions.
•
Minimum is 5:1 for calm conditions; norm is
7:1; severe conditions may require 10:1.

:
XAMPLE
Rode Length = (3 feet + 10 feet) x 7*
Rode Length = 13 feet x 7*
Rode Length = 91 feet
•
Scope factor may range from 5 to 10 or
more. Less than 5, the anchor breaks out
too easily.
