Does anyone have a Good brand anchor windlass installed, specifically a 850 series? I have a 500 installed currently, but it’s a rope only windlass that pretty much limits my chain length to a couple feet since it can’t pass through the wildcat on the windlass and into the locker. I’ve been considering upgrading to the 850 model for greater chain capacity, but I’m concerned about how much room the motor and associated machinery might take up inside the anchor locker.
If anyone has this setup and can comment on it, or better yet post some pictures, that would be very helpful in deciding whether or not to go this route.
