I am in the process of mounting my new (Quick Hector Windlass, 1000w)and have to make the stb. bow roller. The size (length) has to be adjusted to the anchor, (Wich I have not purchased yet)! But I am going to use the Manson Supreme as my primary anchor. So; The question, honoured Morganites,is, what size of either the 45#- or the 60# anchor?
From my experience (crabbing) in the Bering Sea, I am leaning toward the 60#.
Also, I read in a previous thred re.length of cable from windlass to batteries. If my memory serves me right, there was a length of 70' used with only 6' to spare! I am not able to "see" the routing used, from windlass to batteries, using so much cable!
Awaiting your expert advice, gentlemen.
