Electric windlass with the same foot print as an SL Sea Tiger 555

[mackrobertson]

I am looking to replace the Simpson Lawrence Sea Tiger 555 currently on my 40' ketch with an electric model with the same bolt pattern/footprint.

Does anyone know if there is one made to retro-fit this old standard?


Is the Lewmar H3 an exact fiT?

I doubt if you are going to find that. Research and Buy the best one you can and put a deck plate under it or fill those old holes.
I've found the verticals to most trouble free, but many like horizontal.
