Windlass with Rode and Chain (Optional)
The optional windlass anchor system is located on the bow. It is an electric hands free anchor system that allows
the driver to raise or lower the anchor while staying at the helm. The windlass comes with 200 feet of ½ inch line
and 6 feet of ¼ inch rode.
The windlass is operated by a separate switch and is protected by a 50-amp breaker. The switch is located at the
helm. The breaker is located on the console in close proximity to the switch.
To operate the windlass, press the windlass toggle switch to the down position to release the anchor and line.
After dropping the anchor, be sure to tie the line off at one of the cleats. If you do not tie off at a cleat, the
constant pull against the line could cause the windlass motor to fail. To retrieve the anchor, press the windlass
switch to the up position and carefully raise the anchor up but not allowing it to hit the boat.
