R40 Stern Windlass
Posted: Sat Feb 16, 2019 12:36 pm
Hi All,
Since I heavily use stern windlass I had to do some modifications to my R40 since it can't be ordered with this from the factory. Someone that has a lot of knowledge of custom installing windlasses on Bavaria boats are https://www.anchorlift.com/. I ordered a windlass with all accessories and simply drilled a hole through the engine room and fitted a basked to hold the chain. The installation turned out like the images below. I used a remote control solution and stuck an emergency button panel in the engine room to avoid running long cables to the dashboard.
Highly recommended.
