(Apologies, premature send on the previous)
At some point in its history, a now-dysfunctional South Pacific VS1000C windlass was added to our 1975 C&C 30 MK1. The through-deck access to the anchor locker is via the windlass, hand-cranked, and its through-deck hole, just big enough for a 5/16" chain to pass, and not big enough to allow smooth passage of a typical rode connected to the chain. Even the smallest of thimble on looped rode causes problems. Can anyone tell me what the original MK1 top-side access to the anchor locker looked like, if in fact access was even part of the design? Also, does anyone have experience rebuilding the VS1000C windlass? Ours sounds like an old starter motor when the Bendix won't engage. David J. Morris, MBA President, D.J.
