Here`s a pic of the glass over ply "box' on which the metal plate on which the windlass mounts. The metal plate extends well forward. There is a post underneath providing support for the windlass.These days there is a wood spacer between windlass and plate, necessitated by a new windlass motor fitted by the mfr Muir protruding below the windlass casing. It`s a sturdy arrangement now, when I acquired the boat the 'box" was failing generally and required total removal and rebuild
