Was the bolt holes the same for the pro series 1000?My Pro Fish only lasted a year and Lewmar said it'd take a year to send a new one. So I got the pro series 1000 and I haven't had a problem for 3 years. If you want to go to the drum style windlass, the ez anchor puller is a great and reliable alternative. https://www.ezanchorpuller.com
From what I remember it had the same holes. The only difference between the two that I found is that the pro-fish has a free spool while the pro series does not.Was the bolt holes the same for the pro series 1000?
I just got done stuffing a Lone Star GX2 into the anchor locker on my 2120. Can't tell you how well it works yet, but it seems like a really well made product. I've only heard good things about them except for the occasional warning about getting the line stuck in itself. I think that has a lot to do with how you wind it when you rig it though.I’m looking on recommendations to replace my Lewmar pro fish.

One of the best things is that I now have 650' of rode in a really small anchor locker. Unlike a traditional windlass, the drums will accept any type of rode that you want to use. No issues with eye splices or thin rope.
what size rope you put on it and how much chain?I just got done stuffing a Lone Star GX2 into the anchor locker on my 2120.

Running a lone star (don’t remember model ) with 30 feet of chain and as much Amsteel as I can fit
it’s great

Never did see a notification for this for some reason.what size rope you put on it and how much chain?
Still haven't taken any good ones but here's what I have so far. Will try to remember to take some in the daylight this weekend while lobster fishing.You have any pictures?
In my case it took two of us a full day between fabricating the brackets and the anchor locker lid. Old windlass was mounted on a hokie 2" thick piece of Doug Fir in place of the anchor locker cover that was dry rotting from the inside out. No holes since I made a new cover from starboard.X2 on the install - did you fiberglass the old winch holes or use starboard to cover? Was the install tough or did you have a shop do it? How many hours to install?
Same here. About 3k between windlass, rode, starboard, hawse pipe, etc....No old holes since I didn’t have a winch before
fairly easy install.
Cost of the wiring harness and the rope was almost as much as the winch lol
I think all said and done I had 3k into it
if you wanted to you could make a pretty penny fabricating for guys . That is remarkable, you fit 10 lbs of waste in a 5lb bag, it’s hard for me to even figure out how you did that
