Just purchased a 2022- 20' suncatcher fishing barge. Using a fluke style anchor with a 4'chain rode, any suggestion as to what type of windlass to use would be greatly appreciated.
Windlass is not designed to nor should you “pull the boat towards the anchor” with a windlass.Think about a windy day with the anchor well set. Now think about how much force you have to use to pull the boat toward the anchor until the line gets vertical enough to free the anchor from the bottom.
