- 1978 Marine Trader Europa
Hello All
Now the water system is almost upgraded now I need a windlass for my 36' Marine Trader Europa
The windlass was removed by the previos owner who own the boat for a short while. It probally was original by the sounds of it. All I have on deck is a black and red cable that looks guagewise undersized
I'm thinking about installing a Lermar Pro-series 1000 or pro fish. Has anyone used them or wired them up in a MT? Are they big enough to handle a 22 pound delta anchor on 250 feet of 5/8th’s line and 30’ of 5/16” chain which is compatible with this windlass. Any preference profish versus proseries?
Do you think the old windlass had a control box? Is so where would it be located ? If not where has other owner mounted it on a marine trader?.
Unlike my previuos smaller boats it appears you can not access the anchor locker from the front cabin on the MT? Is that true? Do most owners keep the rode on deck when getting ready to anchor.
If anyone has mounted one of these windlass any information would help.
Thanks
