I have a 1982 Catalina C38 would like to install electric windlass any advice on what type, model, and how to mount it.
Thank you, I actually recall looking at this exact listing when I was doing my research prior to purchasing the boat but completely forgot about it! I think this is exactly what I need to do. Looks like the locker door may still be interfering with the rode so I may need to figure out something for gaining access to it.This 1980 Catalina 38 S&S 1980 Catalina S S 38 Sloop for sale - YachtWorld has a deck-mounted horizontal windlass aft of the anchor locker AND apperas to have a bow roller to the port side of the jib furler.

A photo of your anchor door interference would help. This 1981 Catalina 38 1981 Catalina 38 Sloop for sale - YachtWorld appears to have replaces his bow roller as shown...........only issue then is opening the anchor locker as it swings open from the starboard side with its hinges on the port side and the rode would be blocking it. Also one other issue I am trying to tackle is that the current bow roller is one solid welded piece attached to the furling jib and I would need to somehow remove that to get a new bow roller for the 45lb Rocna vulcan and 5/16" chain I just purchased........
Thanks again, I'm out of town right now and will take some pics when I return next week. Appreciate all the advice and willingness to help!A photo of your anchor door interference would help.
