[C320-list] Windlass upgrade

[JJ Morrison]

I'm about to service my Maxwell 500 but waiting for it to warm up a bit here in Ontario. The previous owner installed the chain gypsy kit and it works great with 150feet of 1/4" high tensile chain.

> I have just removed my Maxwell 500 windlass to service it. The article in our technical bulletin in the back of the Spin Sheet was an excellent guide for this project. While I have the windlass out I was wondering if anyone has upgraded the drum to include a chain gypsy or if anyone has replaced the stock Maxwell 500 with another product.
