Hi John, thanks for commenting and we hope you found the video helpful. Hope to have the wiring video up in the next few days. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you for your very clear instruction and tips.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Is it a given that the deck is strong enough, ..is there a guide to estimate loads vs. deck thickness?
Good job 👏
why did you not put the silicone all around the plastic rode funnel instead of just at half the top. thanks
I have a2601 striper 2003
The hatch opening is on the port side
Very close to the center line of the pulpit
Will the Lemar 700 pro fit on the starboard
Knowing the chain feed on windless is on
Starboard side
Thanks
Hi Mohamed- can you send us a photo of where you're thinking of putting the windlass? You can send it to info@darkhorsemarine.com.
What rope do you recommend for this unit?
Hello, sorry for the late response. We recommend either 3 strand or 8 plait rope spliced to 1/4” HT chain. Here are both links to these options. darkhorsemarine.com/windlass-anchor-rode-15-1-4-gal-g4-chain-1-2-3-stand-nylon-rope/ and darkhorsemarine.com/windlass-anchor-rode-15-1-4-gal-g4-chain-1-2-8-plait-nylon-rope/. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
