Author	Topic:   Anchor Windlass Installation 1986 270
firetrainer100	posted 03-29-2009 10:36 PM ET (US)         My dad and I have a 1986 270 center console with a cabin boston whaler. We are interested in installing a windlass for the anchor. We have contacted BW directly but they can't give us any information as when the boat was built a windlass was not an option. We are looking for any help such as size, vertical or horizontal, etc. Thanks
