Has anyone ever installed a windless anchor on a 85 Hunter 31. Getting to old to hoist this. If so what style and will it fit in the anchor box? Any info or pictures would be of great help.
Windless anchor for Hunter 31

Welcome to the forum!!
The 1985 Hunter anchor space is limited as Hunter probably did not envision a below deck windlass. My 1987 Hunter 31 had an above deck windlass.
This thread, showing photos of a horizontal and vertical above deck windlass, might be helpful.

Anchor Windlass installation
I want to install a horizontal windlass on my Hunter 31 1985 - I think I need to install in on the anchor locker hatch - I had seen an article, I though on this site, that showed someone with a similar hatch, and how they split the hatch, reinforced on part and seemed to be what I was llooking...

No. But a couple of folks have installed a windlass. It appears to be quite an undertaking to do it right so that it will work well. Check out the modifications page for the Hunter 34.
