Windlass for 2001 361

[shuga]

Just bought a 2001 361 and would like suggestions on type and manufacturer of a windlass.

Hi Jim and welcome to the site.

We've recently had a flurry of discussions on windlass installations on various boats but I don't think any of these would apply to your case.

I can't comment on the B361 but recently installed a windlass in my own H310.

If you can post a picture of your mounting setup, someone is bound to be experienced with this or something similar.

Thanks Ralph, I'll take your advise. Had a 1997 H310 and loved ner, but x didn't enjoy her, now got a new girlfriend and a new boat.
Merry Christmas

Sounds like a win, win situation :dance:.

I'll keep an eye out for your photos of the mount.

We have a 2000 361 that came with the Lewmar Concept windlass. It's been flawless for us so far.
