Anchor winch on 04 22v

[rattyinmallorca]

Hi, does anyone have any experience of fitting a winch to this model? Does not even have to be a powered one, a hand winch would do. Just a bit tired of finding a nice little beach or cove and then having to manhandle the anchor out of the front locker and then reversing the whole procedure when leaving and its all wet and filthy.

Thanks in advance.

I have not heard of anyone installing an anchor winch on an open bow boat as small as ours. To keep the boat clean I use a rock climbing rope bag to catch and store my anchor line. When I get home I lay the line out to let it dry. Here is a link to an informative website but I don't think there is enough room to mount something like that in the bow. You could build a special box and mount it in one of the rear storage lockers but you would probably trip on the deck hardware.
