    Adding Windlass to 1986 300 Sundancer

    I am planning to add a windlass to our Sundancer. I have settled on a Good Windlass because they do not require it to be tied off, and the whole point of adding a windlass is because the wife doesn't like going forward to deal with the anchor. Got several questions for those of you who have...
