Josh,
I’ve looked in to this for my 37+. The best solution I’ve found is to
build a shelf inside your anchor locker that would have a horizontal windlass
mounted on it. I hear Lewmar’s Pro-Series works well
(http://www.lewmar.com/products.asp?id=8329&type=110&channel=1)
It looks like Dave on Ronin (on this list) is doing something similar
on his C&C 37 — See:

All the best,
Edd
