I will look into a manual windlass (currently I'M the manual windlass!). Where on the foredeck should any windlass be placed? Richard

It will save a considerable amount of money and problems over the years to come. Getting power to the windlass will require heavy gage wiring to carry the requisite current or instead a dedicated battery in/near the anchor locker. Corrosion on the terminals, wires and motor internals regularly plagues electric windlasses. They are hard to find but ebay occasionally has AnchorMan manual windlasses for about $250. Even less common is the Muir 500 manual for about $500. Josh MuckleyS/V Sea Hawk1989 C&C 37+Solomons, MD On Aug 5, 2017 9:53 AM, "Richard Walter via CnC-List" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: Ahoy! Any suggestions for adding a power windlass for our 1978 36-foot? In particular, what is good placement considering the anchor locker cover is prominent in the foredeck?
