ANCHORSTORAGE&OPTIONS
C. Windlass
A. Anchor Storage
The windlass option is available only on the 278 Vista. A
windlass is an electrically controlled winch mechanism
for retrieving the anchor. The mechanical winch portion
is mounted on foredeck. The windlass can be controlled
by the electrical switches mounted on the helm. See
Figure J6.
Most “Danforth” style anchors can be stored in the anchor
storage compartment. Table I lists Four Winns recom-
mendations on anchors. Also, refer to Figure J5.
To prevent a possible man overboard situation,
NEVER stand on, or try to utilize the bow pulpit
in any way while the boat is underway.
