Always be sure to raise and secure the an-
chor prior to operating your boat. Failure
to raise and secure anchor before getting un-
derway could result in severe injury or damage
to boat from rebounding anchor.
A windlass is an electrically controlled winch mechanism
forretrievingtheanchor available on certain Vista™ mod-
els. The mechanical winch portion is mounted inside the
anchor locker, at the bow. See Figures M13 and M14.
Thewindlasscanbecontrolledbya set of foot pads (elec-
trical switches) mounted on the foredeck or it can be op-
erated from the helm. A circuit breaker on the battery
switch is provided to protect the windlass from possible
overload situation. Along with the windlass comes an
anchor, rope and chain. Refer to the manufacturer’s lit-
erature included in the owner’s packet for windlass op-
eration.
Always utilize the chain stop provided with the
windlass/bow roller combination. The chain
stop prevents the anchor from accidently re-
leasing while the boat is moving thus prevent-
ing damage to the boat or possible injury or
death to individual(s) aboard the boat. See Fig-
ure M15.
