Windlass
« on: July 17, 2024, 07:11:59 PM »
I've seen a few discussions on a windlass by googling but they are all over ten years old. Does anyone have a working windlass installed on their 323? and if so, what modifications did you make, what would you do different, and what model did you choose?
Also are you using 5/16 chain or 1/4 in chain?

This was my install 2 years ago on my 31-2.  Yours is somewhat similar, so maybe you can get some ideas from my install.  Good Luck!

Nice write up, I was looking at the V700 as well, mostly because of price. I wonder if a 3 strand rode would grab better then the 8 Plait? Any way, Thanks for the info!

I went with the 8 strand as suggested, but if I don't pull on it from underneath, it binds up easily.  With just the little tug/pull, it runs through nicely.  Not sure there'd be enough weight even with a big drop, unlike my 10" :) 

I got the V700 looking around for only $600 US in 2022, so do your searching if you go with it :)
