Anchor and chain compartment + Electric windlass
is recommended to release the anchor manually, because sometimes during the anchoring maneuver the winch might be too slow considering the speed of the moving boat.During the maneuver please attach the compartment hatch to the fence using the provided rope with the hook. Please make sure the anchor doesn't hit the bow during anchoring procedure.
When the anchor is not in use, attach it to the bollard as a safety measure.
CAUTION!!!
Just before you start lifting the anchor, engage the forward gear for 2-3 seconds (with minimum gas, just to get a slight push forward in the direction of the anchor). That way you will prevent the windlass to pull the whole boat, which can seriously damage it.
