The electric windlass that came with the boat only has smooth drum. When I pull it up I just stop when I get to the chain and haul the chain in by hand around 50' .It's not too bad but I was wondering what would happen when the chain hit the smooth drum . Would it just slip or tear the drum up or both.I'm not looking at it now but I think it is a Maxwell.In the future I would like to change to a manual that will take both rope and chain.Has anyone seen this kind of application for windlass ?
