Okay, I have a 1988 Sea Ray Sundancer 270. The acc. panel at the cockpit has a switch labeled "Windlass" but here is my problem.
The bow anchor hold is covered by a hinged deck hatch. This is the only way to access the anchor hold. The "hole" for the anchor rode/line to come out of is in this hatch. Immediately forward of this hatch is the teak pulpit. Behind the hatch is already the ceiling for the forward cabin. Does anyone know of a windlass that I can use on my boat? I have been to Boat/US and they tell me there is no windlass that can fit on the hatch and SAFELY work, that they know of. I am waiting to hear back from Sea Ray. Since there is a switch on the panel for one, I am guessing that there is something available. Anyone heard of anything?

I will have a picture(s) of the area by this evening if it will help describe the area.
