[C38] Windlass

[Joseph Launie]

Ann,
    We have a windlass mounted on the foredeck. i will send pix if I get 
to the boat this weekend (working on my Jesusita Fire Claim). We had a 
steel plate installed and redid the bow roller and anchor locker 
entrance. The windlass motor does come down into the forward compartment 
but it is out of the way. You could put a box around it. We always run 
the engine while using the windlass so the batteries are just fine as 
they are. Joe Launie/Macavity
