The manual one on my boat is mounted on top of the wood bow sprit so I would assume a horizontal type would be the best. I would appreciate any thoughts or history that you have. Thanks.
I have seen an electric windlass on a W28, but not sure if I have a picture of one. The installation would be the same as on a W32, and I believe that I may have pictures of that. Send me an email.
