windlass
« on: January 18, 2017, 06:52:30 AM »
 From my research there's a number of windless, and carry a healthy price tag. Was wondering if anyone has any experiences with one on a 99 - 205. any information would be appreciated. Looking to buy one and then next month before fishing season gets started definitely don't want to be pulling up by hand. Thanks again for all the info ahead of time aquasport forum is great

We have a Mechanical forum that includes Windlass installs.
I installed a Lewmar Profish 700 on my 230

Just remember a decent-size windlass takes a lot of power, so part of the install will involve some large-gauge wiring or a stand-alone battery.  But there is nothing better on a messy day than retrieving the anchor with the push of a button!   :72:
