I have a Vista 238 and would like to add a anchor winch. Anyone tried to do this? Suggestions on how to hold the anchor in place?

Thanks
steve

So you want to install a windless? You will need a bow roller to hold the anchor in place.

Yes! The question is, how mush $$ do you want to spend and how mush work will this take.

You must also do the math as to what size cable you will need. Meaning current and distance/how much wire will you need.
