windlass
Thanks Waternut & Windship(Dennis) for the info. on my windlass questions. Along with your information and what I''ve been able to obtain from others at my marina I think I''m narrowing down my choices and how to set it up.
Another question before I forget. A skipper I talked with over the weekend told me to make sure I find out what the "actual working load" is of the windlass and don''t rely on "max load" which is always cited. He gave example. He purchased a Sprint 1000 with a cited max load of 1000 lbs. After using same he cited having problems raising the 45 lb anchor out of mud & sand bottoms. He estmates the working load to be 150 lbs. after that he has problems meaning motor begins to strain. He said he called Lewmar and they cited max load to him but would not cite actual "working load".
Your thoughts please.
Happy Sailing
