CD30 & Windlass

[Ben Thomas]

I'am wanting to mount electric windlass on my 30, Have been shopping around looking at the different specs and offerings, the lofrans marlin vertical, lewmar concept 0 and the simpson Lawrence 600 sprint all seem to be in the ball park on amps. and pull for the ground tackle. utilizing the existing hauser is a must.
Any one have a windlass on their 30? love to hear from you.
Thanks, Ben, (Windlass in Portland)

Ben I've got two on our CD30. Look back in the archives and you can read about them and several other good posts on CD30's with windlasses. I'll e-mail you a pic of my setup.

I have a Powermate mounted on the bowsprit inboard end. It is a horizontal access device ( US Made ) and certainly not a patch on a Maxwell or Simpson Lawrence. I use the rope drum with a single wrap to pull in my chain. A cheaper alternative.

Ben,

I just mounted a windlass on my CD30. I is a bronze, 2 speed, horizontal, manual windlass of unknown manufacture. Indestructable (I hope).

For me manual was the answer. An electric windlass has too much complexity.
