[C320-list] Windlass upgrade

[Allan S. Field]

Lou - I did the upgrade to a chain windlass several years ago but my
understanding is that I got one of the last available upgrades from Maxwell.
I don't think you can get it any longer.

Lou, Maxwell is a New Zeeland co. Last time I checked they were not making
any more conversion kits for the 500.

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. 

Good luck with your winter projects and/or hibernation,
