Quick heron H-412_D Windlass

[Highlander]

Just finished installing the last of my 4 brass reading lights
2 brass cabin lights led to replace the two cheap white plastic ones , the old ones will be kept as spares for the head & v-berth lights
2 - 13" strip led lights to be installed above either side of the sliding hatch
8 blue led mini accent lights to be installed in either side of cabin
2 blue 3/4 x 4" flush mount led lights to be installed in the aft cockpit just below the helmans seat either side
2 - 4x14 opening ports to be installed aft of the bottom stripe
rear arch stage two mod to complete
2 cabin roof cabinets to make & install if I can ever find the framing mateirail I want
Is that enough to satisfy ur curiousity for now

Oh & then their's my 10ft spinnaker tacking pole that extends 10ft beyond my 4ft bowsprit with 3ft tacking line outriggers mounted @ the cabin top winches

John, that's coming along great! Looks like it's time to upgrade the Craftsman lawnmower as well...
Give me a rundown on the two anchors at the bow. Do you sometimes drop both spread out to reduce swinging
Keep it up dude - you're an inspiration.

well she is all done now with new anchor rode containing 50' 1/4" G-4 Chain & 200' X 1/2" rode , just to finish up the slot in the anchor hatch with epoxy finish it done just have to clean it up to look clean & professional

the cockpit windlass switch I mounted here on the S/B side entry , this required over 30' of 18G X 3 wire from windlass to reversing relay then back to cockpit control

just below that switch I also installed an off/on safety switch I will post a pic of that later when its labeled , I changed his single bezel & switch out & made a new double bezel with new lighted cockpit switches one for the spreader lights & the other a safety switch for the windlass

The whole mod will be on display @ the MMOR

You never cease to amaze me John ( Although I don't think that hammer will do in Humber Bay ) I'm launching in Collingwood or Thornbury this weekend for wakestock. Why don't you come up and test things out.

Good idea

Would love too but got one more opening S/B port light to install this wk-end , & install my spreader lights . aft Arch extender to fit then clean her all up for the MMOR ,I maybe drop by in the evening & hook-up for a beer so let me know where u r. I heard the water level is pretty low in Collingwood so watch out for all those big huge rocks & shallow reefs up around there between Collingwood & Thorbury Although u'd think with all this rain we r getting it should be back up by now

Yeah John I may be launching from Thornbury and then head to Collingwood depending when I get up there. You're right I'll have to watch out for the Mary Ward Ledges.

Hi Highlander!

How are you doing?
Wonder if you could post on how these amazing Mods of yours, especially the anchor winch, have weathered the test of time?

Best Regards,
