Do NOT rely on the windlass alone to hold your boat at anchor. After setting the anchor, tie the
rode off to a cleat or equivalent strong point.
Do NOT pull your boat to the anchor using the windlass, or continue running the windlass if it
has stalled or is overloaded.

The windlass can be controlled from a switch at the helm or from the deck foot switches.
Make sure that the windlass circuit breaker is turned On before using the anchor windlass.
To raise the anchor, use engine power (not the windlass) to move your boat to, and directly above, the anchor.
Dislodge the anchor from the bottom by pulling it straight up with the windlass.
Before getting underway, make sure the anchor is secured and the windlass circuit breaker is turned Off.
