The horizontal windlass 900 W can only be used with a 5/16" HT-type HT-type HT-type HT-type HT-type HT-type HT 9/16" rope and G4 chain The rope with three twisted nylon cords is our recommendation.
You should be able to obtain this information from the manufacturer's website or technical support.
I don't think there's any reason why it shouldn't be done. Underneath the hull, use a big washer.

For years, I've wanted a windlass. My problem was that my boat was an '87, and the bow deck was thin, with the pulpit actually coming over the top, reducing my mounting area to about 2 1/4 thin. I bought the 900w at first, but I had to upgrade to the 1000w because of the extra thickness. That one, on the other hand, seemed to be a perfect fit. This kit includes everything you'll need, including bow peddles (which most kits don't). I bought a $50 aftermarket "remote control" on Amazon that easily connected to the Five-Oceans relay, so I didn't bother with the bow pedals or dash switch, but at least it's there. The windlass appears to be made of high-quality stainless steel, and the motor appears to be extremely long-lasting. Mounting was simple EXCEPT on the 1000W, where the template shows the center line (rope travel) as well as an "arrow," so make sure you follow the "dotted line" rather than the "arrow!" I followed the arrow and mounted mine slightly to the right of the arrow - It's game over once you've drilled the holes. no re- Fortunately, it is not far away and has no bearing on the performance. The anchor line is slightly crooked, which irritates my OCD, but I'll get over it! I'm in the state of Michigan, near Lake Erie and the Detroit River. Because our anchoring spots are shallow (ranging from 5 to 20 feet), a lot of seaweed grows there. It's nothing to have 200 pounds of muck and seaweed on my anchor, and this windlass effortlessly pulls it up. It appeals to me.
