[QUOTE="Douglasdzaster, post: 505869, member: 27803"] Looks good and I really like the winch. I’m still lowering my anchore by hand from the bow. Then I have to reach over and tie it to one of the handles on the outside. Every time I do it I say I have got to put a cleat up here the forget after I get home. Lol You probably all ready know but careful using dissimilar metals together. Fasteners etc. Aluminum doesn’t play well with others. I had to replace everything because regular bolts and screws where used and they rusted causing the Aluminum on the boat to corrode. Where applicable after getting rid of the corrosion I used aluminum rivnuts. Where I had to use stainless steel fasteners I coated with marine anti seize. The marine anti seize doesn’t have any metals in it. The problem with it is all you have to do is look at it and it gets all over you. Lol Instead of the big brush attached to the lid t stole a small paint brush from my wife’s arts and craft supplies. [/QUOTE]
