M - 13 BOW PLATFORM
Many of the V series models designed with an inte-
grated bow platform. This bow platform provides a
functional base for anchoring. The anchor (if equipped)
is stored in the anchor chute of the platform. The anchor
chute and bow roller provide support for the chain/rope
and anchor which is available. See Figure M24. Refer
to Chapman's Piloting, Seamanship and Small Boat
Handling or local anchorage authority, such as your Four
Winns dealer, for anchor type and size recommendation
for your particular model.
To pre vent a possible man overboard situation,
NEVER stand on, or try to utilize the bow platform
in any way while the boat is under way.

M - 14 WINDLASS
A wind lass is an electri cally con trolled winch mech anism
for retrieving the anchor. The mechanical winch portion
is mounted on the bow platform or inside the anchor
locker, at the bow. See Figure M25. Most wind lasses
can be controlled by a set of foot switches mounted on
the foredeck or it can be operated from the helm. Circuit
breaker(s) is located on the helm and aft circuit breaker
panels (if applicable). Refer to the manu facturer's litera-
ture included in the owner's packet for windlass opera-
tion, safety and maintenance.

Figure M25: Windlass
Along with the windlass typically comes an anchor,
rope and chain. The anchor line is stored in the
anchor line locker located underneath the anchor
locker lid. The locker keeps the line secure while
underway and keeps the deck clear of unsightly
anchor line when docked. See Figure M25.
To prevent personal injury, keep clear of the
windlass at all times.
Always be sure to raise and secure the anchor
prior to operating your boat. Failure to raise
and secure anchor before getting underway could
result in severe injury, even death and/or damage
to boat from rebounding anchor.
