Want To Buy: Cheap (manual) WINDLASS + WHEELDRIVE AUTOPILOT

[Selene]

Looking to buy a windlass and autopilot for my 33' sailboat.

[Problem Free]

We have a manual windlass we just removed. The issue would be the shipping. Let me know if you would like me to take some pictures. Works fine as far as I know but could use some lubrication.

Would like to see it, where are you located?

We're in Annapolis and I think the unit is a Simpson-Lawrence but I'd have to confirm that.

Here is a picture I found in my files. I know the gypsy fits 5/16" chain but can't specify which type yet.

Very interested, just about what I was looking for. What are you asking? Do you have any idea how much shipping will bee, I am in Titusville Florida (32796), will do some research in paralel.

Frankly, I'm not sure what its worth, anyone have an idea? I've shipped a 70 pound anchor to the west coast recently and that was close to $100. Its probably about that weight. Fedex should be able to give a quote online.

Do you have any friends heading south? We're on the water just a few miles up the Severn from Annapolis.

I will ask around, and I will check FedEx. Did a check with USPS for a 12x12x12inch 50lbs, came up like this:

Yeap, its a S-L SeaTiger, an excellent manual windlass. Just rebuilt mine, they are a real workhorse and usually in demand.
