Those are questions for Islander owners.
1) What type of windlass you have/had (horizontal/vertical)?
2) What brand/model you have /had?
3) Would you by/install the same brand/model/type again? Why?

Thanks in advance for answers.

Best windlass I ever owned was a Good... Made in Barnegat, NJ .... I have owned 2 Horizons, a Lewmar, and 2 Goods ( different boats )>>> go with a Freefall type windlass ... in my opinion
