What a time getting some of the old shackles off, lots of brute strength, and WD40
Several mounting issues came to light, the new one is a lot lower, so it has to be raised from the deck, so it will work properly. After much consultation and a friend of Mike(windlass installer), they have managed a plan to raise the windlass at the same level as the anchor pulpit, this will require, that a frame be built to accommodate the windlass, and a new deck hole for the chain to drop straight down, the old one is now obsolete.
I will take photo when the job is done. This will delay us further, what the heck, we are in Florida, and its warm and sunny..
Scottie & Lane,
ReplyDeleteInto every beautiful year, month, and day a little rain must fall--HaHa. Glad to see that is fixed, and you are in Datona.

Scottie,
ReplyDeleteAre you in the Datona Municipal Marina ? I believe it is the best there for value. Good luck on your repairs.

Hi Hon (and Lane) - I am at the DYC reading your blog. Jim Brown told me the news about the anchor fiasco. Can't wait to here the cost of that! But once done, it will be one more thing that you don't have to worry about, right? Can't believe that you will be home within 3-4 weeks. Miss you and can't wait to see you. love me (and Chico)
