Which windlass do you have?
What is the present wire size? The wire size should be printed on the wire insulation. Should still be visible as the wire looks to be in good condition still.
What is the capacity of the two breakers now, individually?

I'll lay odds that the combined capacity of the two breakers is the needed capacity of a singe larger breaker or very close. Best though to do it properly with the windlass and wire specs.

The question didn't come up before but is your system 12VDC or is it 24VDC? Your boat is bordering the size that 24VDC is often used so the question to be sure.
