[C320-list] Maxwell VC500 Windlass - Reversible?

[Pat Tormey]

My choice was to keep crews hands away from the chain, my brother lost his grip and  tried to grab the spooling chain. And, I always have the option to free wheel or bypass the windlass. 

At $200 it wasn’t worth it. But at <$50 it was.

When I want to drop an anchor, I want it down right now, asap, not feeding it out.  I have never found a reason for a reverse solenoid switch and have built and sold sailboats for over 40 years.
