Dan might have been refering to the fact that you had posted twice. I had responded to your second post. Not a lot of help but here it is: http://forums.hunter.sailboatowners.com/showthread.php?t=115383 .
Here's a better one maybe: http://forums.hunter.sailboatowners.com/showthread.php?p=681047&highlight=windlass .

I can get you a picture next week if you need one. I went small. I installed a horizontal manual windlass aft of the chain and rhode locker. I have 50 ft of 5/16” bb chain and 150 foot of 5/8” nylon line with a 35# CQR and 15# Kiwi sentinel. I like the low profile clean foredeck and simplicity of this setup. I have anchored from the Bahamas to Block Is. Connecticut and never had a problem.
I do not like Electric Windlasses and in particular do not like vertical windlasses but It is a matter of taste and purpose. My Admiral positions the boat so that current is not a problem. If you are single handling your decisions are based on different factors.
Fair winds,
Charlie
