I sold my Weekender which didn't have Winlass and am in the process of getting a 2003 280DA. Excited for the Winlass feature but also worried since it an automated feature which is prone to failure at some point.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone carry a spare anchor? Ever worried Winlass might fail while out on the water?
Also, how does one generally anchor down in a desired position with Winlass?
Traditionally you throw an anchor and yank till it catches. Do you deploy the Winlass anchor and just move boat till it catches? I assume that might cause you to be out of a desired position. How do you do it?
