  1. Thanks Dave, Good to hear feedback on the drum winch, they just seem like less hassle to use. Also pleased to hear that you can use a reef anchor with them. I will look into the local companies as you suggested. All the best, JLS
  2. G'day Fishraiders, Apologies if this has been answered previously, but I'm after some advice on fitting a power anchor winch to my (new to me) boat. It's a 5.6 Quinnie Classic (2000) aluminium outboard. In previous boats I've been hand retrieving using a large reef anchor and 8 metres of chain on a 100 metre rope. The boat has a fairly small anchor well, and I'm looking for recommendations about which way you would go. Windlass or drum winch? Which brand? Can I run a reef anchor, and will I need to fit a bowsprit? Are chain socks any good? Other things I haven't thought of? Thanks in advance, JLS
