Please note that the anchor windlass system does not have any safety limit switches, so it is recommended to manoeuvre the last few metres of chain “manually” via the remote control when it is close to the cube or when it is calculated that almost the entire chain is being spun.
To avoid overheating of the anchor winch, it is advisable to help recovering it, by moving slowly the yacht toward the chain, without approaching it too closely, so as not to damage the hull.
If you weigh the chain after an anchoring on a muddy or weedy sea bottom, we suggest washing it during the weighing, using the button on the helm stations.
