When we bought our Bavaria 30 cruiser we had no windlass fitted, or anchor locker shelf for that mater! So our winter job we have been trying to do for what ...

today we're fitting our windlass finally

so basically all I'm all I messed about

with a minute is trying to get these

stainless steel rods should come through

from the womanís here but obviously that

the front of the Locker is a bit of a

slope and the position of this typically

is right on the edge so it's been

putting away this so I can get these to

sit flat against the fiberglass we did

some wiring and through the week so we

got our basically our relay controller

here and I've managed to get a an anchor

remote I'm gonna basically gonna put the

socket on here some way I'll figure that

out as we go along

yeah and so as soon as we cut these out

will water off we'll try and get there

the windows fitted itself and we'll show

you what we've done up in the locker

okay so I thought I'd show you what

we've done in our locker so my original

plan was to basically put some plywood

in here and then basically fibreglass it

all and everything else but my thinking

was it would be really difficult to try

and fiberglass around the back of it and

I'm not really good at fiberglass in so

managed to get this plate of stainless

steel made up by somebody I knew so it's

very nice and obviously this this this

is a nice fit in here once everything's

bolted in and then this is basically

going to act as our windlass shelf and

we've got some sides on here and they're

gonna basically be awkward into here I'm

just going to put some big penny washes

on there and basically pop that through

and tap it and then the windlass is

basically inner-city and where we have

this cutout and everything else so

that's the plan and yeah hopefully it's

all gonna fit I'm just tightening these

isn't it so the Shelf attached to the

boat I think I might because I would be

idea am I

my fibreglass all this in afterwards

just so it said so there's no plywood

exposed I can act or see I'm just gonna

drill a drill and tap these holes so I'm

gonna drill that the fiberglass um just

for the six mill drill and then I'm

gonna go all the way through with it

with a 5 just so I can tap the stainless

steel plate on the back of the

fiberglass and then that's gonna hold it

to this idea I'm going to start with the

foil actually go all the way through

that my need a new battery though

[Applause]

it's gonna turn a home

the worst sound ever when you tap in

stainless steel

yeah hopefully

taina up not without so that's how I

don't

the bolts need longer bolts best way to

explain it basically fits it's up in

here so we've got this voice anchor

remote and what I want to do is I want

to put a socket coming out at the bottom

of this it's a face plate here but it

means I'll just need to screw all this

on here before I get the cables

connected to the cable yeah

connect it to the to the solenoid up

here watch the reader for these screws

gonna stick now a bit so about two small

ones I can use and then I can use that

one but the drills up there in there all

right so I've connected all that pretty

loosely so it's a bit messy the minute

I'll tidy up in a bit because sir we

need to put all the paneling back on so

that's all connected some heat-shrink on

everything and I've got this that's

that's the plug connector there or I'll

plug that in when we get ready and then

just finally finally connected

everything down at the battery here and

up there all this here on the other side

this is our this is our isolator switch

so we can isolate the wind this one we

need to so now everything's connected

everything should work lovely so hook

this in let's go and have a look there

put all the covers back on

obviously you can't see a fight

everything everything's nicely hidden

and then I'll plug it's just on this

little cap here that's where we need to

plug it in need some help all right so

now everything's connected up so down

should be and then up should be we gotta

win this
