M - 6     BOW ROLLER
Secure anchor line to bow  eye or deck cleat.
Never tie anchor line to a rail, rail fitting or other
hardware not designed to support this stress.
The bow roller assembly is standard equipment on se-
lect Horizon™ models only. The bow roller extends be-
yond the bow and is integrated with the anchor chute.
The function of the bow roller is toalloweasier retrievalof
the anchor. It also protects the hull/deck  from surface
abrasions or gouges while either anchored or when re-
To drop anchor:

nance included in the owner’s packet.
Maneuver the boat slowly backwards until length of an-
chor line is 6 or 7 times the depth of the water.
To prevent a possible man overboard situation,
NEVER stand on, or try to utilize the bow plat-
form area inanywaywhiletheboatisunderway.
Fasten the anchor line around the bow eye or deck cleat.
Anchor flukes should dig  in and catch. Watch for  an-
chor drag by checking shoreline landmarks at the time
the anchor is dropped and one-half hour later. If the boat
has drifted away from these reference marks, the an-
chor is dragging and must be reset.
To weigh anchor:
Start the engine running before pulling in anchor.
Slowly maneuver the boat forward to reduce tension on
the line and make retrieval of the anchor line easier.
Raise and secure the anchor.
Always be sure to raise and secure the an-
chor prior to operating your boat. Failure to
raise and secure anchor before getting under-
way could result in severe injury or damage to
boat from rebounding anchor.

M - 7     WINDLASS OPTION -  (Specific  Models Only)
The windlass is optional on certain Horizon™ models.
A windlass is an electrically controlled winch mechanism
utilized in conjunction with the bow roller for the retrieval
of the anchor. The mechanical winch portion is mounted
inside the anchor locker. The windlass can be controlled
by either a set of  switches mounted on the helm con-
sole or by  the foot pedals at  the anchor locker.   See
Figure M10.   The windlass option also  comes with a
rope, chain, and anchor.   Refer to the manufacturer’s
literature included in the owner’s  packet for operating
instructions.  Please  contact your Four Winns  dealer
for more information.
If the anchor becomes stuck, attach the vertical line to
the mooring cleat. Wave action on the bow may lift flukes
from the bottom and free the anchor. If the anchor is still
stuck, feed out a few feet of line and attach it to the bow
cleat. Maneuver the boat around the anchor,  keeping
the line firm. Determine the angle that will work to pull
the anchor free.
Anchors are usually a  dealer installed option.   Please
