Now here's a job that tested our agility - the ability to be a contortionist.
The anchor winch on this Bayliner had burned out and a new Muir winch kit needed to be installed.
It's all in the box!
Yes it is, everything you need to install the complete Muir anchor winch.
Winch motor - Gearbox - Chain Galley - Electrical Relays and Switches.
New below deck components - winch motor - chain shaft housing.
The new shaft sticking it's nose through into the anchor bay.
All bolted-up and secured - shaft waiting to accept the winch motor and gearbox.
Very neat and compact design - fit like a pilots glove.

The Control Cabin -
as the new anchor kit came complete, wiring and switch gear included, we were requested to
up-grade the system to the Muir specification.
New Lower - Raise switch gear fitted.
Heavy duty control relays installed.
Wiring from battery to winch motor upgraded.
Anchor on deck!
After a few test runs without fault - job done!
