Thanks for the input but I am speaking of the hole below the chainwheel of the windless. For the past two seasons I have placed a rag around the chain in the whole. There would seem to be a better way!
Does anyone have any suggestions as how to keep the water from going down the chain hole other than a rag?
Thanks to John Smith I installed an Lofrans Kobra on Wanderlust in the winter of 07.
I have to give credit to John who did all the home work and installed one on his boat first. Running the cable was the wrost part on my boat.
It is a perfect fit between the post and the inner forstay My 35#CQR and all chain has never been so light!
It came in very handy in 07 when I came to the rendezvous from R.I. and spent two months, most of the time alone, before returning home.
Make sure you use low power foot switches.
Someware I have a photo of John,s installation if anyone is interested.FYI, Wanderlust #37 was the next to the last boat built. From what I have seen the last boat, in Washington State, has St. St. prots!
Yes they are Bomar. The short story is I removed all the paint from the out side of the window frame it self and then lightly sanded them. Much of the paint had fallen off anyway. I replaced the bezels with new brushed St. St. ones which I had laser cut and then used the old bezels as templates to drill the holes. They look great. I can send pictures to anyone interested. That’s the short story!
