I too am considering adding a windlass to ease retrieving the heavier anchor on my 30-2. It appears to me that C&C used a standard forward hatch/ chain locker assembly on their boats. Am I correct in that observation? If so, is there also a windlass configuration where the entire unit is mounted on the locker?
