The anchor line is stored in a compartment, below the
anchor locker. The compartment keeps the line secure,
and free from fouling while also keeping the deck clear.
A deck plate is included for access to the anchor line
compartment. Also contained inside the anchor locker
is the windlass. Please see Section M-12 below for de-
tails regarding the windlass. Refer to Figures M12 &
M13.

A windlass is an electrically controlled winch mechanism
for retrieving the anchor. The mechanical winch portion is
mounted inside the anchor locker, at the bow. See Fig-

breaker on the battery switch is provided to protect the
windlass from possible overload situation. The windlass
is standard on the 378. Along with the windlass comes
a 35-pound Talon Plow XT™ anchor and 200 feet of 5/8”
