Ron, Tom Buscaglia has a pretty nice install. IIRC he included a deck wash. I, on the other hand do not wish to incur the added complications and cost of an electric windlass. From high current to solenoids to water ingress. So my solution is a manual windlass. They are kinda hard to find. That is at least one that would fit under the locker cover. A muir shows up on ebay from time to time and I found a Sampson? They work with typical winch handles. ~$500 for the muir and ~$200 for the sampson. I'd consider parting with my sampson and trading up to the muir if I had a buyer.
I have found that the hardest part of pulling the anchor by hand is breaking it loose from the bottom. A chain break or even a chain grabber is a great help for holding the ground tackle while you use the boat or a trip line to unseat a well set anchor. I can provide more details and links if desired.
