Need windlass type/brand for 356

[Jimongee]

If there are any sailors with a 356 that is equipped with an electric windlass it would be so helpful to know what brand, model, type ( vertical or horizontal) your boat has. As well as your comments regarding performance. In 4 weeks we are headed for our annual 4 months on the Great Lakes and I have run out of Ibprofen so a windlass is finally a must this season. Our vessel is a 2002 model

Re: Thanks for you help

This site seems to have good prices if you are on a budget. No idea on quality.

Be aware that Hunter used a special low profile version of the sprint atlantic windlass to fit flush with the anchor locker cover. According to my dealer, it's got a low profile gypsy

SL supplied Hunter with a base plate with forward opening for the chain to drop forward i.s.o. down.

Interesting ................... I didn't know SL had come up with plate arrangement for mounting their windlass on the anchor locker pedestal. Rats, all that design work and here someone had already invented it. I installed a low profile Lewmar V1 to fit under the locker lid.
