I used Euan's idea of directing the anchor chain around the windlass and back forward, entering the chain locker from the hatch. I raised my windlass up 2.5 inches off the deck and placed a small roller in front of the hawse pipe mounted on the hatch. It works really smooth with not a hangup anywhere. Thanks for the great idea Euan! I'll post some pictures soon. I also just finished installing 3 bilge pumps, one smaller 1100 gal/min primary, one 3800 gal/min secondary(just in case the primary is overwhelmed. It is mounted 3 inches off the bilge floor) and one manual with the handle located in the cockpit. I'll post some pics of that setup as well soon.
Happy Holidays
