Considering fitting a windlass in the chainlocker in the front of my Dehler31/Duetta94. Wondering if anyone has done this?
To be more specific I’m looking at two models, from Lofrans, one is the Lofrans X2 1000W, the other is a Lofrans SX2 1000W, and a third option only 800W though but less weight. Prince DP2E 800 W.
They are both vertical and have a low profile so there should be enough clearance dept wise physically to fit either of the two so the hatch can be closed thereby covering the windlass.
Currently when I’m at anchor I lower and pull back in by hand, but it’s hard work especially in a 8-9m/s wind condition and substantial waves…hence why I’m considering the windlass option.
