After 12 days of fiberglass repairs and gel coat application to the anchor locker, the owner of With Phoenix | Oliver installs a new Lewmar windlass.1:14 The installation requires significant physical effort to seat the heavy unit into the deck, requiring precise alignment within a tight space.9:03 Following the mechanical mounting, the project involves custom-crimping electrical wiring to connect the motor to the boat's power system.13:57 The owner repurposes existing holes for a new negative terminal post to accommodate the wiring configuration.16:33 Despite the successful operation of the windlass, the wiring remains unorganized, and the owner plans to finalize the electrical cleanup and test the fit of 150 feet of chain and 150 feet of rode in subsequent sessions.18:34 Shortly after completing the installation, a neighboring vessel collided with the hull, causing cosmetic damage.20:21 The project demonstrates that replacing a windlass often involves extensive deck reconstruction and custom electrical work beyond the initial mechanical swap.
