Section III. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

1-10. General. The MSW-112-TH bow anchor windlass is a hydraulically driven chain windlass for handling the vessel's

bow anchors and stud link chain. The windlass assembly retrieves anchor chain to the chain locker when the anchor is

taken in (raised), and distributes anchor chain from the chain locker when the anchor is let down (lowered). It allows free

movement of the wildcat when it is necessary to have uncontrolled release of the anchor. Besides the anchor operation,

the bow anchor windlass provides hauling capability to provide lifting for other tasks.
