Chapter 7: Deck Equipment

Cleats and Tow Eyes

PERSONAL INJURY and /or PRODUCT or PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD!
NEVER lift the boat using the cleats, bow and stern eyes.
Carefully read the section on towing in the Cruiser & Yacht Owner's Manual before:
• Towing anything behind the boat.
• Being towed by another vessel.

Windlass (If Equipped)

• ALWAYS secure the anchor and other loose objects before getting underway.
• The anchor and other items that are not properly secured can come loose when the boat is
moving and cause personal injury or death.
PRODUCT DAMAGE HAZARD!
Do NOT pull the boat to the anchor using the windlass or continue to run the windlass if it has
stalled or is overloaded.
• Read and follow the manufacturer's instruction manual before using
the anchor windlass for the first time.
• The windlass can be controlled from a switch at the helm or from the
deck foot switches.
• Make sure that the windlass breaker is turned On before using the
anchor windlass. See the Locations section of this Supplement for
the location of the windlass breaker.
• To raise the anchor, use engine power (not the windlass) to move the
boat to, and directly above, the anchor.
• Dislodge the anchor from the bottom by pulling it straight up with
the windlass.
• Make sure the anchor is secured before getting underway.
