It all depends.I own a 2012 hunter e33 I would like to install a windlass is it worth the money to get one with a drum and if so why
Hunter replacement stanchionsAnd now a word from the sponsor...
Not really, and make sure you take careful measurements of the install location to make sure you get a properly sized windlass and proper clearance to operate it. The angle of pull from your bow roller is very important. Manufacturer can give you the specifications.I would like to install a windlass is it worth the money to get one with a drum and if so why
Sometime ago I queried Lewmar about the model of the windlass fitted on my 2012 e33. The reply email was lost with the death of a laptop this spring; however, if I recall the windlass is a Lewmar V3 modified especially for Hunter. It is a vertical windlass with a gypsy and drum. I am currently using 200' of 5/16" G4 spliced to 250' of 1/2" three stand. Hanging off the end is a 35 lb Manson Supreme. I have used the drum, in the past, to hoist a friend up the mast to do some inspection for me. I assume that because the windlass was an option that year that the mounting base is in place. If you would like some pics, I can help you out.I own a 2012 hunter e33 I would like to install a windlass is it worth the money to get one with a drum and if so why
