[C38] Windlass

[Phil Gay]

I installed a vertical Lofrans with a capstan/gypsy combination on the deck
so that the motor was at the foot of the Vberth (dry location) and the
chain/rode falls into the anchor locker.  The tolerance for mounting was
1/8th inch but it works well.  I use 60' of chain spliced into 200' of 9/16"
nylon 3 strand.  More chain would be nice but I hate having that much weight
up forward.

Does anyone have advice on a windlass installation for C-38s. A vertical
windlass seems like the obvious way to go, but I recall that some owners
have mounted a windlass inside the anchor locker, which sounds appealing.
Also, is it best to install a dedicated battery in the forepeak and, if so,
where?
Thanks for your help!
