[C320-list] Maxwell 500 Anchor windlass maint question

[Scott Westwood]

Hull 517. '98.  I will try to find the model number but I couldn't easily see it at first/short glance.  I have the v-berth bottom board off and I will try to see it.  I also have an inspection hole under the chain locker lid but I couldn't see a model number.  I will look again. 
Thanks,
