Hmmm... Jim, you are talking about an anchor windless correct? For my money I like the Powerwinch brand, I use their trailer winches and anchor winchs and really haven't had any trouble with either of them over the years.
What depth water are you thinking of anchoring in? Unless it's very very deep there should be more than enough space in your cuddy for the rode and chain.
