We are currently refitting a 1986 E38-200. We are stripping the deck hardware to repair and repaint the entire deck and hull. I know that there are many threads on windlass installs. What would be the downside to removing the plastic pan and glassing the whole hatch in? Then mounting the windlass on deck, with the only access to the chain locker from the forward cabin? We already have to replace the foward bulkhead, as it is rotten out at the bottom from standing water, so It would be easy to make the access to the anchor locker larger at this time. And we are already doing a whole lot of glass work.. I would appreciate others input!
