Thanks for the complement Josh. But no deck wash
on Alera, other than a cloth bucket on a line. Works just fine for me.

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.
