Lewmar Pro Fish 700. Will mount CIRCUIT BREAKER aft near a battery, will mount ROCKER SWITCH at console. but not sure where best to mount CONTACTOR. Should it be near switch or near circuit breaker - or at some other point for most efficient wiring?

I mounted mine under the console. I also purchase the remote receiver with the fob. Very helpful retrieving up on the bow.

I added a remote fob as well. It is so easy to cycle the windlass from the bow with it.

I am no expert certainly but I have the circuit breaker mounted at the helm. I keep it open until I want to deploy the anchor to help prevent any accidents.

I'll be adding the remote with fob to my Seafarer in the spring. After having my windlass on now for a bit, I can see the benefits of it. I have the push buttons I could mount, but didn't want anymore holes drilled into the boat. The remote can be mounted below deck and out of the weather.
