You really need to glass in a shelf with
sufficient strength to withstand the torque and
pressure exerted when lifting the anchor an
chain. IMO a bolted shelf is not going to do it.
Also, keep in mind that the little arm that rests
on the chain/rode sticks up about 3/4 in. You'll
want to mount the windlass as high as possible
to make the chain pull angle as horizontal as
possible. However, if you just use the height of
the windlass without taking that additional
height into account you can't close that hatch to
the chain locker. (Do not ask how I know that)
You will love it...a decent windlass changes everything.

Listers,
As you may remember, I?m close to a decision on
adding an anchor windlass to my 37+ C&C, and,
based on my research, I think this may be the one to go with:

For mounting, I think I?m going to create a
hanging shelf inside the anchor locker that is
attached by several bolts to the starboard and
aft most lip that the hatch rests upon when closed.
Good plan? Reconsider? Better ideas?
All the best,
Edd
