Just installed an Anchorman 1000 electric windlass on my 86, 40 ft Legend. Installed it on deck, centered, directly behind the anchor locker. It works perfectly. The rope coils up in small coils inside the locker which I then move forward to make room for the chain. I spliced the anchor rode to 60 ft of chain with a rope chain splice, it feeds perfectly over the gypsy. The chain just spits out of the front of the windlass, directly into the locker. I never thought I'd be able to get a windlass to operate decently with the Mickey Mouse, brain dead designed locker provided by Hunter. I am pleasantly surprised. Christ, after hauling by hand, and then with a jam prone, slow as shit horizontal manual windlass for the last few years, I feel like I died and went to anchoring heaven.
