I‘ve read some posts about putting a heavier...
I have an 82 overnighter. i Just finished rebuilding the transom. Tell tale signs were rust stains from the hold down u-bolts and fiberglass crazing on the inner hull where the motor mounts. I knew I was in trouble when I mounted a new transducer and the screws would not hold.

Has anyone put a windlass on a 204c? I have an 82 with the anchor locker hatch In front of the windshield. I’m looking for suggestions on where to install a windlass that the rope has at least 12 inches to drop below into the cabin or in the forward bow space in front of the walk.
