Windlass for H33

[lindenorr]

Hey fellow H33 owners... what is the best windlass to install on a H33, year 2004?

Dang, I wish someone would answer this question, because I have the same situation on my 2005.

windless for H33

Dang, I wish someone would answer this question, because I have the same situation on my 2005.

I have a 2005 with the factory[dealer?] installed electric windless that also has nearby on the deck, the up/down buttons.
My locker cover has a hole that the top of the windless is even with. i assume that the ones without a windless don't have it.
The trouble with it is that the chain drop is not enough, it piles up and jams.
I now know why the PO had a short broom handle in the locker[to get the chain out of the way by pushing it off to the sides] That works but you have to reel the chain in SLOWLY.
The admiral said,Don't look at her to do it.
That being said if I had a choice I'd try to get a vertival windless that would tend to give you more chain drop.
Good luck!

Its same on my boat. Need to hand clear the chain when reeling in. Same too for Jeanneau 38. So its not only a Hunter problem. Come to think of it, its no problem at all.
