Just bought a used manual windlass and a Milwaukie M28 Battery operated Angle Drill. Friend has the same set-up and it rocks. And it you want to get that main up fast, try this <https://www.thecranker.com/> https://www.thecranker.com/ add on.

You literally don’t know when it will and won’t function! Buy a manual winch or go to the gym regularly. Rick Paikea 37+.

Delta anchor and 4' of 8 MM chain. I can get the anchor up reasonably easily. I am thinking of upgrading the anchor to a 45 lb. Rocna or Mantus M1 because that is the size recommended by the manufacturer. My only concern is whether I'm going to find it particularly difficult to pull up without a windlass. I have a good anchor roller, and have installed a chain lock so I can pause if needed because the boat swings or to help pull the anchor out once we get the rode/chain vertical. I'm not a hugely muscular guy, just a typical 5' 9" guy in his later 50s. I'd really like to avoid putting in a windlass, at least for now and the Delta has held pretty well in the sandy bottom here in west Florida.
