Hi Jacob Some of us have installed anchor windlasses in the anchor locker, if you like I can provide details.

The anchor locker and lid takes up the entire bow beyond the vberth. In order to place the vertical rope to chain windlass on the deck requires placing it above the vberth and running a channel for the rode back into the locker. Additionally this would mean cutting into the liner inside. There are holes in the bulkhead where there appears to have been a shelf bolted inside the anchor locker but going only to that seems very weak. I'm thinking now of reinforcing the bulkhead and sort of glassing it into the sides and then bolting a frame to set the windlass on and it would be fully contained within the locker. Has anyone been through this or have suggestions or notes of caution?
