I have a 2002 Gulfstream and I am looking to replace the anchor line. Does anyone know if there is enough room in the anchor line storage compartment for 300 ft of line?

How deep is the "fall"? The distance from where the rope exits the windlass to the floor of the locker (straight down). 3-strand or 8-plait? Chain?

600' wow. That's good to know. That thing must have been crammed. Didn't think you could get that much rode in there...

Please note that he has 8-plait line. It lays down in the locker so much differently than 3-strand that you can get much more line in the locker. Definitely recommend 8-plait, particularly with a windlass, but even without one.
