I mounted mine like that, I've got a Lewmar V2. It works well. You may
want to mock it up in cheap plywood first, I had to cant my windlass up
to best match up with the bow roller, and it let me get it raised as far
as possible without hitting the locker lid.
The one thing you might consider is adding something sacrificial where
the chain will drag. Your geometry may be better, on mine the chain is
clear of the deck when hauling the anchor, but if it goes at all slack
when letting it out the chain will scuff deck just forward of the anchor
locker. I put down a thin piece of starboard material there to avoid
the problem.
Let me know if you would like some pics.

So, it’s winter and I’m getting back to refitting (restoration is probably a
better word now after letting her go so long) Ronin and am working on
shed/inside type jobs. I bought a Lewmar Pro-Series 1000 horizontal windlass.
Right now I’ve taken a bunch of measurements and I am doing some rough drawings
for mounting it inside the anchor locker, on a shelf bonded to the bulkhead and
just under the anchor locker cover. Right off the bat it seems doable. Chain
angle from the bow-roller is within tolerances; the chain/rode runs true when
the windlass is offset to starboard and there is just enough chain-fall (~21”)
to meet the manufacturer’s requirements.
So, has anyone with a same or similar sized C&C done something like this?
Thoughts, pictures, links or just general “Be afraid!” comments?
Cheers,
