To prepare for a Pacific crossing from Oregon to Hawaii, the owner of a sailboat modifies the anchor locker to accommodate a new windlass and increased ground tackle. The current setup uses a Lewmar V700 windlass limited to 50 feet of 1/4-inch chain and 150 feet of rode.2:08 The planned upgrade involves a Lewmar V2 windlass paired with 150 feet of 5/16-inch high-test chain and an additional 150 feet of rode.3:30 To create sufficient space for this heavier gear, the owner removes an internal wooden divider within the anchor locker that previously restricted volume.6:17 Using an angle grinder, the owner cuts through the fiberglass-bonded wood partition over several hours, taking care to avoid damaging the hull.9:58 The project concludes with the successful removal of the divider, though the final fit of the new chain and rode remains unverified until the windlass installation.20:34
