Has anyone experience with installing a lewmar 700 vertical windlass in the anchor locker hatch?

Windlass

I've though about this, I have the same boat. The cover is too thin and would need to be reenforced. I would just lay up extra glass on the underside. I talked myself out of needing it all together. Can just start the engine and run towards the anchor to break it loose if theres a problem...

I agree the cover is too weak to support the winch, I am considering mounting it just aft of the cover and building a tube to run at an angle into the line locker. Just wondering if anyone has done this installation on this particular boat and what their experience might be. Stephan
