backing plate
I used what I had 2"X2"X1/4 square qalvanized washers in each bolt of the windlass. I used 4"X4X1/4" galvanized plates for the anchor roller. Be sure to motor over the anchor then winch the anchor, rode and chain. Do not use the windlass to pull the boat to the anchor. You will also need to modify the anchor so the flukes do not come in contact with the hull. Thanks Doug
