Answer:
Picking the right
windlass for your boat depends upon what you want out of the windlass.
Obviously you want the windlass to pick up the anchor and drop it into the
water, hands free. All GOOD windlasses will do that for you. Picking the
windlass that is right for your boat depends upon the
size of the boat
and the displacement of the boat. First you need to
decide if you want
a rope/chain combination windlass
or a
rope only anchor
windlass, this is strictly a preference. Most people like the idea
of a chain lead because it helps extend the anchor shank and hold the anchor
in the bottom.
Once the rope or rope/chain model type has been determined,
the windlasses
are categorized by boat size. For boats up to
34', use the models that have the letter "A" in the item #. ie: F850A
or AFD. For boats 35' to 50' use the models that have the letter
"C" in the item #. ie: 800C or CFDM. This will ensure that you have
selected the proper windlass for your boat.
#1-Decide
if you want a chain or no Chain (Most people do because it helps you anchor
better)
#2 Pick
the desired finish
#3 Find
the size of you boat and how many feet of rope you want (The rule is 2-3 X the
depth you fish or anchor in) So if you anchor in 100 ft. of water you will need
approx. 300+ ft of line.

Pivoting Anchor Roller
assemblies are made of an
aluminum magnesium alloy (Almag #35) which is stronger than stainless steel
and impervious to the harsh marine environment. It may be used on the bow by
itself or incorporated into an existing pulpit system. The pivoting anchor
roller system eases the stress placed on the bow while the boat is at
anchor, even in rough sea condition.
