Hi Ron, I recently installed a new windlass and upgraded the ground tackle on my LF38. I installed the windlass on the deck such that the chain hole is over the anchor locker whereas the windlass shaft hole is over the v-berth. I just started to writeup the windlass installation on my blog, but as of now it has mostly photos. For equipment, I went with the Maxwell RC8-8 5/16” G4 windlass, 150’ 5/16” G4 HT chain, 150’ 5/8” 8-plait nylon rope, Mantus SS swivel, and 44lb Vulcan anchor. Also I read good thing about using a 4WD winch controllers on a marine windlass, so I picked up both a wired and wireless winch controllers from amazon. The wireless controller works great but does have a slight delay which the wired controller does not. I chose not to go with the usual foot windlass switches.
