Anyone out there ever put a windlass on a 30+? Could you share pics if so? The anchor locker door doesn't strike me as sturdy enough to handle any loads beyond opening and closing. The depth also strikes me as too shallow for an in locker windlass. Offset the location possibly? Thanks.

Hey all. Anyone know what tool is compatible to get the deck plate off for access to emergency steering? I can't find mine and don't remember what the thing was called. I've looked at a number of spanner wrenches from local auto parts stores but none seem to fit. Ideas would be greatly...

I am a pilot by profession (military) and a sailor by passion/hobby. Would I use something like this in my jet? HELL NO!!!!! Would I use it on my boat? Hell yes. And I do. The difference? When the damn thing fails when I need it on my boat I walk away feeling like an idiot, in my jet...

Sorry. It's a sherwood.
