SIMPLICITY CAL35

I am restoring a 1984 CAL35 and want to install a windlass. Has anyone done this and if so, can you provide any information or details?
Thanks.

Cal 34 Galesville,
Windlass install

Mark,

I installed a LOFRANS verticall electric several years ago and it still works great. Here are a few things that I did:

Used "starboard" above and below deck for extra support.

Welding cable for wire (cheaper and it works ) for the run to battery.

Bought both up and down deck switches...handy for our heavy 50' chain to nylon rode.

Although not probably needed in your boat, but I designed and had made a custom anchor platform that holds our 2 anchors (Danforth and Bruce)with rollers.

Windlass circut breaker is just inside companionway.

Have Fun,
John Berens
