Quick Prince Windlass

[kbdozz]

Hi all.
Considering the purchase of a windlass for my Compass 29.
Obviously doesn't need to be amazingly powerful, however I want something that is reliable and carrying low-maintenance.
Does any one have feedback on Quick Prince windlasses?
There appears to be very few reviews on the web.
Any info greatly appreciated.

With its motor and gearbox installed inside your anchor locker, a vertical windlass, like the Quick ‘Prince’, takes up less deck space, than a horizontal model [but more locker space*].

A horizontal model is easier to install and maintain, and is less prone to snags and hang-ups, than a vertical windlass.

* Make certain that you have enough locker depth, achieve minimum fall of 12" - 18 inches above the rode pile, to have enough gravity, to pull the rode down into the locker.
