Maintenance and Use
The Lone Star Marine range of drum winches are robust and reliable and will last years and years
with very little maintenance. However, to keep your winch looking and performing at its best there
are a few simple guidelines to follow.
-Do Not use your anchor winch for any other purpose than retrieving your anchor without prior
written consent. This Warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse.
-Do Not jam the anchor into the bow sprit (anchor davit) upon retrieval. Repeatedly doing so can
shorten the life of your transmission and damage your vessel. When your anchor is close just tap
the switch until fully raised. If using chain guard leave the last meter off ahead of the chain for an
indication of proximity.
-Do Not engage the up switch after the anchor is fully locked in to the bow sprit. This may damage
the bow sprit, your vessel, or cause the transmission to lock up.
