Retro fitting an electric windlass
Has anyone installed or seen a power windlass installed that will work well with the on deck chain locker Ericsons have? All the power windlass I have seen (vertical & horizontal) are made to feed/guide the chain to a below deck locker. It seems as a windlass would need a guide to prevent chain skipping out of the gypsy (have that problem now with the manuel windlass).
Thanks for any help,
