Question to the forum. Moving ahead with the Lewmar 700 ( which is now on sale). On my 208, I fiddled with a wire snake for 2 hours trying to get through the access tube. Efforts from the helm to the stern and the stern to the helm did not work. So, I looked at an alternative, running the wire...

Seasick.....thanks for the input. I just spoke with Lewmar in CT. Called them to address their content in the product manual for the Pro series / horizontal 700 fish windlass, specifically the required cable selection. Their on-line manual recommends 8 awg for a 41 to 66' cable run. (This...

I just noticed that the cable requirements for the Lewmar verticle 700 differ from the Lewmar profish 700 horizontal. The v700 calls for 6 awg at 31' and the 700 horzontal cals for 8 awg for 41' to 66'. That will prompt a telephone call to Lewmar tech support. Why ? Thanks again

Thanks, quite a bit to digest. I assume the pulpit reinforces the deck, and my though was to attach the windlass to the pulpit. The info on the shallow anchor locker for the rode, I did not think about. I appreciate your info.

I have a 2002 Adventure 208 w/ pulpit and I would like to install a windlass. Any suggestions, ideas, etc Thanks
