Then I made a bracket out of 1.5 inch aluminum angle to secure the bitter end of the rode. It's secured to the bow eye bolts and the rode is spliced to the bracket.

Drilled the anchor locker drain hole. I used the magnet trick to locate the spot where the hole would be drilled. final hole size is 1/2 inch.

Decided to go ahead and go with this location for the switch.

Per the advise of some C-Brats, I have another 50 amp breaker on order that will get mounted on the lower bulkhead. This will be used to kill the circuit when the windlass is not being used so there are no accidental anchor releases.

It Works! Yay!!

200 feet of 1/2 inch 3 strand rode and 40 feet of new chain. I actually managed to splice the rode without having to watch a YouTube video again. Bonus Points!

I like that I can easily reach it through the window.

Switch location?
