I'm considering the purchase of a boat that has an after market windlass install. I was wondering if anyone could comment based on this picture:

Hi @PropellerHead
Hate to break it to you but all windlasses are "after market" items. Either installed by owners or by the boat dealer at the request of the new owner.

What is your concern? Does the windlass work? Does it raise and lower the anchor and chain? Can you look into the anchor locker? What does it look like?

What are your concerns about the windlass?
