we anchor in a very windy bay,been awakened at night by the sound of the boat banging on the shore,and anchor dragged during the night,i have extra chain and scope is correct,we need to go to a larger / heavier anchor and chain and pulling it up by hand is too much for our bad backs,trying to figure out how to mount a windlass possibly inside seat storage area and have anchor under front deck,boat is 32 ft party cruiser tri toon 250 optimax,any ideas anybody? winds at times are 10-15 mph

Lets get some pics of how/where you want to mount it, Will the anchor hang under the to toon? It should be doable, you would have to add re-enforcement to the deck area where it mounts.

buy an electric mount it up front for about 275 will handle a 35 lb anchor. But they will not handle the chain. thats the only thing that stopped me from buying a cheap electric
