I have a Good Automatic Windlass for sale.
I bought it for my Albin 25 but it's too big. This unit is for a boat 32' to 42' and uses a 5/8" rope anchor rode (not included). Included is a 30" Anchor Roller Assembly. The roller assembly new sells for $380. The forward wheel is frozen and does not spin and the unit is slightly twisted but does not effect performance (according to the previous owner).
The unit is a free-drop unit and sells new for $1725.
My mistake could be your good fortune. I paid $300 for it and would like to get as close to that as possible but, I am very flexible.
What makes the Good Windlass so attractive is that it's the only windlass that does not require that you tie off the anchor line once the anchor is set. That translates into dropping and retrieving your anchor without leaving the helm.
If you're interested, here's some thoughts to consider...
1. You could install it as is and get whatever life is left in her. Or,
2. You could send it to the factory and have them refurbish it saving about half the cost of a new one. Or,
3. You could trade it in on a new or factory refurbished unit and save about $500 over buying one directly.
If interested, shoot me a PM. Did I mention I am very flexible?
