to make sure it is clean and free flowing.

THE ANCHOR MUST BE POSITIONED SO IT DOES NOT REST AGAINST THE HULL

SIDES AND BE PROPERLY SECURED AT ALL TIMES.

The anchor is secured in an anchor chute that extends through the stem of the boat. The anchor line is stored

in the rope locker and routed out through the windlass to the anchor chain.

The anchor is lowered by releasing it from the cleat or chain binder and activating the down control at the

helm or remote control. Boats lying to their anchor in a high swell or heavy weather conditions will snub on

the line. This can cause slippage or apply excessive loads to the windlass.

AFTER THE ANCHOR IS SET, THE WINDLASS MUST NOT BE LEFT TO TAKE THE EN-

TIRE FORCE FROM THE ANCHOR LINE. THE LINE SHOULD BE MADE FAST TO THE

ANCHOR LINE CLEAT TO RELIEVE THE LOAD ON THE

WINDLASS.

The windlass should not be used as a winch to move the boat over the

anchor. The boat should be moved under its own power to the anchor and

to break the anchor loose.

The anchor is hauled in by releasing the line from the bow cleat and

activating the up control at the helm or remote control. Once the anchor is retrieved, secure the anchor to the

chain binder or a cleat to prevent it from being accidentally released. This is especially important while the

boat is under way.

DO NOT USE A WINDLASS AS A SOLE MEANS OF SECURING AN ANCHOR. ALWAYS

SECURE THE ANCHOR LINE TO A CLEAT OR CHAIN BINDER BEFORE OPERATING

YOUR BOAT.

The windlass manufacturer provides an owner’s manual with its product.

A WINDLASS MUST BE USED WITH CARE. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU

READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE SAFETY INSTRUC-

TIONS AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE WINDLASS BEFORE USING IT WITH YOUR

BOAT. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT LIMBS, FINGERS, HAIR AND CLOTHING ARE KEPT

CLEAR OF THE WINDLASS AND ANCHOR LINE DURING OPERATION.

WINDSHIELD

The Pursuit SF 345 is equipped with a vented heavy duty aluminum windshield with tinted glass and built

in hand rails. The front and side wing panels are tempered safety glass. The curved glass panels on the port

and starboard side of the windshield are made of tinted acrylic plastic. Acrylic plastic scratches easily. Never

use a dry cloth or glass cleaning solutions on acrylic. Use a soft cloth and mild soap and water for routine

cleaning. Solvents and products containing ammonia can permanently damage acrylic. Please refer to the

Routine Maintenance chapter for more information on the proper care and maintenance of acrylic plastic.
