Always be sure to raise and secure the anchor
prior to operating your boat. Failure to raise
and secure anchor before getting underway
could result in severe injury or damage to boat
from rebounding anchor.

Always utilize the chain stop provided with the
windlass/bow roller combination. The chain
stop prevents the anchor from accidently
releasing while the boat is moving thus
preventing damage to the boat or possible
injury or death to individual(s) aboard the boat.

CONTACTS
There are many good boating publications that have
information about your area and what other boats are
doing, such as clubs and other activities. Educational
programs are sponsored by publications and organi-
zations such as the US Power Squadron, US Coast
Guard Auxiliary and the American Red Cross. See
your dealer about special courses available in the
area. For detailed information contact:
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 available in different shapes, sizes and
weights to fit different boats, uses, and conditions.
Your Four Winns dealer can tell you which anchor
will work best for your boat.
