Picking Up A Mooring Buoy - Bavaria 36 2003 Information & Operation Manual

There is a high amperage fuse that will blow if
the windlass gets overloaded. This is located
behind the 12v panel.
Before replacing the fuse, ensure that the
windlass breaker on the 12V panel is switched
on, and that the green light is not illuminated. If
it is illuminated, this indicates that the fuse is
NOT blown, and that the yacht battery power is
too low to run the windlass. Please run the
engine at 1500 rpm for 15 minutes and try
again. The fuse is located behind the 12v panel to the left side (100 Amps).
Before replacing the fuse, however, ensure that the windlass breaker on the
12v panel is switched on. Another problem may be that the yacht battery
power is too low to run the windlass. Please run the engine @1500 rpm for
15 min, and try again. If the windlass still refuses to operate, please call
Horizon.
Manual operation of the windlass
windlass handle onto the wing nut on the side of the windlass. Pull back on
the windlass handle to loosen the wing nut.
Your anchor is now ready to drop.
Remove the safety line or safety pin, and push the anchor over the bow,
keeping hands and feet clear. Control the rate the chain pays out by
tightening or loosening the wing nut with the handle. When you have paid
out sufficient chain – 5 to 8 times the water depth, push the handle forward
to tighten the wing nut. Increase revs to 1500 rpm, to set the anchor. If you
drag, pay out more chain, and re-try 1500 rpm in reverse. When the anchor
is set, fit the snubbing line, and cleat it off, then release the chain on the
gypsy as above, so that the load is taken up on the snubbing line.

If you lose power to your windlass,
start the engine and give it some
revs, to make sure you have not just
got a low battery voltage. Then
make sure the windlass breaker with
the anchor icon is in the 'on' position
on the 12 volt panel. If there is still
no power, check the location of the
windlass fuse and make sure this has
not tripped out. If you still have no
power, you can operate the windlass
manually.
