Has anyone installed a windlass on a 34/5? If so, can you share the particulars with me? I'm thinking this will be my next project.

Thanks for bringing this topic up. I am also looking for a solution. There are some posts here on adding a windlass but for other boats. I would like to keep the windlass off the deck and in the anchor locker. Most likely the locker floor might need to be extended into the v berth area. Hopefully someone has all this figured out. Btw, I was able to special order the hard plastic 2 3/4 inch anchor roller at Rock Hall WN. He mentioned that he might get some extra ones for stock. Once I replace the old rubber roller that doesn't roll, I am hoping that I can at least run the anchor line to the halyard winch to pull the chain rode and anchor shank up and over.
