Dennis is right on the money. Evaluate the weight of your ground tackle. Multiply by 3
That will give you the proper size range.
Vert vs. horizontal? Rope/chain? All chain?
What size chain? Depth of locker? Power source?
All these must be evaluated for a proper install. In my experience a really handy option is a remote control. This will allow you to move about the foredeck whilst dropping or hauling tackle. Only about 150.00 additional bucks. Answer a few of these questions and it''ll be a piece of cake.
