Welcome to the list Chris!
I too have shamelessly loaded up a perfectly good fast boat with lots
of heavy junk to make her a comfortable cruiser. So, I feel your shame.
I'm not sure how similar your 37 anchor locker is to the one on our
37+/40, but we installed our windlass in the locker. We had a shelf
installed and used a Quick windlass because the form factor allowed
for it to be mounted close to the deck to reduce the angle as much as
possible, I'm sure others would work just as well. Work like a
dream w our 20K Rocna.

Hi guys,
I?m the new owner of a C&C 37 called Northern Light. Although this
is my 6th boat, it is my first C&C and I will test your patience
with a number of questions until I educate myself enough to remain quiet.
So in fact, it is in your interest to educate me as fast as
possible, considering my limited abilities.
First, I?d like to change the steering wire and chain system, does
anyone know what size wire, length and if any one of the ready made
kits from Edson fits the 37?
Secondly, did anyone use the StrutPro to remove the cutless bearing,
and is it worth buying it? It?s 350$ on their website, but
considering the cost involved in hiring another ?PRO," and the fact
that it eliminates the need to remove the shaft and all the other
circus, it may be worth it, but maybe I?m missing something here.
Third question of the day is where to install an electric windlass,
before or aft of the locker? Any experiences, ideas in that area?
I?ve seen a couple installed ON the locker lid, but in that case I
would prefer to hold it in my arms for better grip. I?m planning on
sailing Nova Scotia and circumnavigate Newfoundland next summer as I
am in fact a cruiser by trade. Sorry guys, but I will load this fast
boat with a lot of heavy ground tackle, in fact about 300 feet of
Acco chain and a heavy Rocna and I need the windlass...
Thank you for your valuable advice and hope to e-meet most of you soon.
Cheers,
Chris
