I am interested in installing a Windlass on my Hunter 340. It was an option on my boat but the company who made the windlass Lawerence Simpson is no longer in business. I am looking for a substitute. I was wondering if the anchor locker hatch had to be cut out for the original windlass. I was wondering if anyone had replaced the old or installed new. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Windlass and model number would also be great. Thanks again.
