Resting comfortably, ready for tomorrow. Forecast is 20 mph NE wind, good chance we'll sit out tomorrow.

Haven't investigated yet on a way to mount it. I've got an idea on how to do it. I'll look into it after I get back from Erie.

I bought one from Lewmar, not sure where they thought I was going to put it, but the bolt on it is about 1" long, not enough to through bolt to anything.

I'll let you know how it works out.

I mainly troll/drift also on Erie and Santee. Windlass is for bait fishing in current in diversion canal on Santee and sandbar use in Florida. Most people are clueless on how and when to deploy a anchor when I need it. I can't drop anchor and drive the boat at the same time,,,, now maybe I can...

If it's sitting on a mooring and been leaking awhile, I'd run a lot of freshwater down into the bilge to dilute the gas before your automatic bilge pump kicks on with nothing but gas down there. It's a large project to replace them, I went through it on my 228 a year or so ago. Your tanks are...

Just messing with it in the driveway yesterday, it self deployed, and the freefall part works as designed, landed on trailer before I could catch it. I'll play with it more this weekend, heading to Lake Erie on Thursday.

Congrats!! Now the fun begins to make it yours.

Finally finished up my Lewmar Profish 700 windlass install this weekend. Started it a month or so ago and got pulled away. Chose to mount it at the very back of the pulpit instead of the split hatch mount. I did trim off the eye on the backing plate for the bow eye and put cap nuts over the...

A&J will send you the lacing for it, you just need the eyelets. You might have to call on Tuesday, tomorrow is a holiday for most.

Front is the bar and eyelets mounted to the top. Eyelets along the tubing for the rest of it.

I'm right there with you all. I'm 58 but try and act 38 until my body tells me otherwise. THT was not always what it is now. When I joined back in '03, it was much more cordial, people were helpful. Not so anymore. You have a handful that will try and help, most will just run their mouth and...

Here's mine. I had a new one made by A&J Canvas as they were the OEM manufacturer of it. It is laced on through some SS eyes around the top and tubing. Boat is here at house, I'll get some more pics in a few. Here's one to get you started.

I spent some time in Auburn. Pretty close to Placerville if I remember correctly.

To me, looking at the switch and the markings,,, anchor up, anchor down. I'll find out tomorrow when I get all the wiring done and hit the switch. From battery to breaker is wired, and from breaker to relay has been pulled but not hooked up yet.

Changed it to this. Was afraid I'd hit breaker with my knee.

Doing a mockup for switch and breaker location for the new windlass. Anyone see an issue with this location?

Have to agree with others, vinyl is the way to go. I bought my boat and it had vinyl and that was the first thing I did was strip the name off. Glad it wasn't painted on.

If you're talking to me, you need to look closer. Both run same direction, to starboard side gunnel.

I like the option of 2 tanks. 148 total.
