5.7 Anchor system
You can lower and lift the anchor with the electrical anchor winch, or you can use the anchor manually.
Risk of injury or material damage.
Always lift the anchor up and secure it in the anchor box or lock it in the retaining system when you are not using the anchor.

3 | Anchor box |
The anchor on your boat is located either in the anchor box, or in the optional electrical anchor retaining system under the anchor box. The retaining system consists of the electrical anchor winch and other components of the lifting/lowering mechanism, such as the anchor roller.
When you lower or lift the anchor electrically, the anchor roller extends from the bow and guides the anchor far enough from the bow so that the anchor and the anchor wire do not touch the bow and damage it.
