Dont have a windlass on my 30 footer cruiser
anchor is 18 lbs , getting too it is painful , Do it when I have too , climb up few steps thru window walking too anchor locker , avoiding this process I carried a light weiight ( never weighted ) possibly 10 lb circle anchor that I thru off of the swim platform ,
Majority of boating is ICW in 6 feet of hard muddy bottom when I anchor
If it grabbed ( most times did not ) held in place under bridges were I sat on swim platfrom fishing ,
Few weeks ago anchor got stuck on bottom and after a 1/2 hour gave up , used boats engine too free and snapped line ,
I am now searching for a replacment anchor other then traditional anchors
Possibly 15 lb that can fit under a seat ( apx 2 ft opening )
THoughts on some of the new anchors such as Matus or other ,that have deeper angles too grab into hard muddy bottom ,
