    Question to No Worries: What size chain and what size line are you using? Also what Lewmar windlass did you choose, Pro Series or Pro Fish.
    Did you choose the 1000 or 700? I have the same Yacht, what additional wiring did you have to run to the bow?
    I have the same boat as you and same circumstance.

    I have a 1999 Carver 404.
    I just installed a Maxwell RC88, that I bought from Defender.com for 1,500. It has controls at the bow and at the helm.
    This setup is working very well for me.
    I would encourage you to get the next size bigger anchor than what is stated for your vessel
    I am running 75' of chain and 200 feet of rode.

    Good luck on your project
