Just got done installing a powerwinch sportfish 450.
Removed cleat. Placed deck template. Make sure holes on the template match up w/ the bottome of windlass before drilling the hole on deck. On this windlass one hole was off by about 1/2 inch.

Holes complete! I used the powerwinch models cause the motor housing didn't extend pass the gypsy. On the 2101/2002 you have the hatch to the anchor locker close to the center line and this model fit perfectly.

Finished! Had to relocate the cleat. Used 1/2 starboard above and below deck as backing board. I used black (white would match better) cause that was what I had at the moment.

Nice job! I'd love to do that to my 2302. I use 25' of chain and 600' 0f 3/8 line, and wondered if it would fit! what does yours store? I hate having to retrieve 625' of rode, even though I use an anchore ball system.

I'm carrying 300' rope and 25' chain. I sometimes have to go to the bow and pack it in the locker so the windlass doesn't get jammed...

Contact customer service at powerwinch...800.243.3097
They're send you a deck template... I had them send me one before ordering the windlass so i can measure the space for fit....
