Mads replaces the corroded windlass on a 44-foot hurricane-damaged catamaran by installing a new Quick Rider R3 windlass.16:36 After removing the original unit, which suffered severe internal corrosion from submersion during Hurricane Dorian, he inspects the chain locker and repairs delaminated tabbing on the bulkhead.3:29 He decides against splitting the chain locker into two compartments to avoid chain "castling," opting instead to store the primary anchor chain in the undivided space and use a combination rope-and-chain rode for the secondary anchor.9:00 He sources the new 1400-watt windlass from a supplier in Fort Lauderdale and installs it using the manufacturer’s template.15:27 The installation includes wiring the unit with 1-gauge marine-grade cable, adhering to ABYC standards, and connecting the integrated chain counter.22:35 The project concludes with a successful functional test of the windlass motor, marking the completion of the boat's anchoring system milestone.23:25
