Anchor well modification

[Gary Anderson]

Have a vertical capstan mounted above anchor well and wish to increase depth to increase fall of anchor chain. Chain locker appears to be extension of interior liner with ample room below forward of forward holding tank vent. Other than obvious fiberglass work with which I am familiar are there any other unforseen problems?

Have seen one, know of two.

They were both cutters so had to be concerned about mid-stay which is mounted on back of anchor well. Only other issue seemed to be a new drain because the new bottom was lower than the old drain hole on one.You can see one at:http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=204587#a=1505977Replace the '#' sign with an ampersand which does not display here.Also see:http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/Cabana/7414/upgrades.htmlwhere you will find a very good description of how Gene did it.
