[@SAILINGCHAOS-1]

Thanks for the shout out! You ROCK!

[@sailingsole]

Right on guys. I meant to do it in the last video about the windlass but my dumb ass forgot. 😂🤓

[@SAILINGCHAOS-1]

@sailingsole no worries man thanks

[@sailorspence]

Love how many KZbin sailors you do little cross over episodes with!

[@sailingsole]

Thanks man. I have no problem telling g everyone who I’m hanging with. We’re all sailors right?! Cheers! 🤙🏼

[@svAeroNautical]

Glad to hear I'm not the only one that uses the same standard procedure for boat projects! 🤣 Well done on the install. Let's go put it to use!

[@sailingsole]

Haha ain’t that the truth! Yeah that’s the plan. Aug 17 is close!

[@JP-pu5xg]

Of course, typical beer sitting on the bow during wiring of the switch. Love it!

[@sailingsole]

Of course! Is there any other way? 😂🤙🏼

Good job Andy🎉

[@sailingsole]

Thanks bro! I been a C30 tank top! How much? HMU on IG 👍🏼

[@damage_control_sailing]

Coming along nicely. Can’t wait to see you drop and raise. 🎉🎉🎉

[@sailingsole]

Thanks! Me too! My wife is getting really good at distracting me from going sailing. I wanted to get out and test it for that video but too much fun stuff going on on land 😂

[@ellelyn2000]

I guess inexpensive s.v.'s need lots of love too. Nice job Andy🎉

[@sailingsole]

Inexpensive is subjective right? 😂 I love tinkering so it’s fun to B.O.A.T.!!! 👈🏼You know what that means right?

[@ellelyn2000]

@@sailingsole you are living the dream in my humble opinion, I love the times you take us to the auctions. Wish I could attend and live the s.v. life as a live a board. Keep them coming, appreciate all the videos. Enjoy the good weather.

[@sailingsole]

Thank you. Much appreciated! Just trying to live my best life because it’s too short right!!!

[@waltobringer2928]

Thanks for the info Little Brother!

[@sailingsole]

You bet Walt! Thanks for stopping by. Cheers!🤙🏼

[@francoisl7663]

Couldn't believe how expensive Windlass are!

[@sailingsole]

Agreed. They are overpriced but what isn’t on a boat? 😂

[@PKAdventures]

as soon as you started drilling by those wires i cringed and waited for you to cut 1, it's just too easy to make that little mistake. also, i have seen people tear up their fingers drilling into something small like that box for the switch, glad you still have all your fingers lol

[@sailingsole]

Haha yeah it got a little dicey. I work with power tools everyday and I never take for granted that I can ef myself real fast if I’m not careful. It was close, that’s why I put it in reverse. 🤙🏼

[@BrianYapleOfficial]

Looks great - how much power draw while it’s in use?

[@sailingsole]

Thanks. It draws 700 watts. It has a 60 amp breaker.

[@stfitts]

Hey man, great install. I have a 30 TR, and would love to do this mod. No issues with stability or structu8re around the deck where the winch attaches? That would be my only concern

[@sailingsole]

It pulls laterally so it’s not an issue on my 1978 foredeck. I didn’t put in any backing plates due to the way the underside attaches to the topside. If I notice any issues I’ll figure that out but as of now it feels very strong. That said, I haven’t used it in a real situation yet. I’ll report back on that soon. Stay tuned to future videos. 🤙🏼

[@Maddythebaddy]

if your in cali would love to help you work on the boat free of charge in exchange for some sailing lessons ....highly skilled engineer and navy lcac mechanic...camera man lol

[@sailingsole]

That is a very generous offer, thank you, but I love doing the work.
