Hustler,
I have this one. Very rebuildable.
One could anodize it silver or gold.
One of the biggest advantages of the drum is that you can have 4 or 5 different sizes of chain or line attached w shackles or whatever.
Most fishermen use several feet of very heavy chain (frequently studded) followed by lighter heavy chain perhaps 10 to 50' and then nylon line. Some even use all chain but then lighter chain must be used. And of course the fishermen use very heavy anchors ... Forfjord's and Claws in that order of preference. Dreadnought's and Northill's are also popular.
This winch has chain reduction drive and could lift any anchor you'd ever consider putting on your boat.
