Here are some pics of my recent windlass install...
There is of course a toggle switch at the helm, and the reversing solenoid is mounted inside the cabin on the anchor locker bulkhead.
The hatch is rienforced with 1/2 epoxied ply, replaced factory hinges with heavier duty ones (approx 3/16" pins) and relocated to the aft edge of the hatch. Also installed quick release latch at the front for easy access (can also be locked when not in use).
The pulpit/bow roller is 2 pieces of 3/4 oak laminated together with epoxy, then cut/shaped and then fully encapsalated with epoxy, then a standard 2" bow roller bolted to that.
