Chain has to go somewhere,so there must be some opening. Pic 3 would be fine, no great fiberglass and wood works. Can`t envisage having no windlass, the language was terrible the times ours failed and we retrieved manually.
You need to go look at it. Those decks are not just a cosmetic problem, but maybe you can keep them going a while. I dispensed with teak on the foredeck, painted non slip there, the rest, covered by the walkways, in new teak. You could do it all in painted non slip,tear up the teak,fill every screw hole,fair it,add 2 layers of f/glass and paint it.
