MK 1 Anchor Windlass - Alternative Installation

Thanks Stu, I have read a lot of Steve's content on the forum including the bit you copied here. I don't know what he does for a living but he's a great writer. Humorous, interesting, and informative.

A long project, but now complete except for adding a bale to the bow roller. I'm posting in case anyone with a MK 1 is considering adding a windlass and looking for ideas. Most folks on this forum installed a vertical windlass inside the locker. I chose an on deck mounted horizontal for various reasons. Detailed write up in the Tech WIKI with photos.

Jon,  nice job, looks great. Just finished the new windlass in our MKII anD loving it. We have 150' of chain and 100' of Rode.
