My 1992 GW Seafarer has a Richie HF-73 Compass that lost all it's fluid. I'm repairing it with new fluid but the light stopped working. I have looked all over for a replacement, but can't find one. Does anyone know where I could get one or a similar one to use?
The hatch door is reinforced with 3x5 inch straps. The Windlass is mounted on a 6x18x1/2 inch sheet of heavy duty plexiglass and that is mounted to the bow of the boat and the anchor hatch.
I tried that but it the flap still sticks out. I ended up grinding down the brass that was sticking out just a bit. The flap still sticks out a tiny bit, but If I'm not mistaken, don't the all stick out a bit? Or should they lay completely flat?
I bought 4 new scuppers from Amazon and they fit perfect. My only problem is that on of the flaps won't close because the inner brass tube protrudes out to much. I saw a link how to replace the tubes so I think I will try this out.
Thanks for all the information.

I have been looking at bow rollers for my 1992 Seafarer 22 and was hoping someone out there may have installed one so they could give me an idea on what to get. I attached a photo of the bow with a tape measure showing how much room I have to work with.
Thanks for any help...
I guess if I were younger I would probably go with pulling it up by hand with a roller. But I'm pushing 70 and plan on boating for some time in the future. Just maneuvering around the cabin can be difficult since there are no real hand rails other than the canopy. I think anyone reading this...
No, I’m just trying to get as much information on what to. I’m leaning towards just leaving the railing alone and getting a a roller. From the photo I found I should be able to mount the Windless on the existing anchor hatch door. Your thoughts?
I have a GW Seafarer 22 "2 Pictures attached, boat and bow" that does not have a Windless Anchor System. I was hoping for some feedback on installing a Pulpit and Bow Rail as seen in the third photo I have attached "Seafarer 22 with windless". I have found pulpits for sale but I'm not sure of...
