In Response To: Re: Windlass advice (Neil H)

I put a Simpson-Lawrence Horizon 600 on my B31 last year. Works fine. I bought the 600 instead of the 900 because I fish/anchor in relatively shallow water--about 20-35'. Install was no big deal, but depending on where things are, you'll have to run some pretty stout wires to the windlass for power/ground. I went with a vertical rather than a horizontal because I was told/heard that the verticals jam less. For the same reason, I didn't get a freefall--plus in 30' of water, you just don't need one. Now in 100'+, I guess you would.
