 A deep anchor locker is provided in the bow, ample room for an electric winch.When the outboard is lowered in its bridge-deck well, the propeller is on the centreline of the boat and well forwards of the stern, so that even in rough conditions the prop will not come out of the water, a problem with stern-mounted outboards.When not in use the outboard is out of the way and protected without the need for heavy lifting and removal each trip.
