Yeah, I couldn't reach ours at all when putting out the snubber forcing it to be a 2 person job.
Cheap eBay 2 for $20 remote and problem sorted.

Here's my Ideal windlass as I'm finishing up my refit.
Genuine Bruce behind and Rocna up front.

Yes, I suppose that clutch is the right term. If those three eared collars (clutches) are turned tight, then the gypsy is fully engaged with the output shaft of the gear. It can only free fall if these collars are loosened since the gear will not turn in reverse.
So...to free fall, the brake(L handle) is backed off and the three eared collars are disengaged to the point where you like the speed of deployment. Three eared collar clutch is then fully engaged tightly to raise the anchor with brake off, of course.
When the anchor is to be stored for a term on the bottom of the ocean or in its nest on the boat, then both the clutch and the brake are fully engaged. Either alone will prevent chain from feeding out but both is the safest.
Anchors can be operated as left, right, or both when brakes and clutches are set appropriately. The straight wrench is used on both clutch and brake when tight.

I wired the black box up to the up/down toggle switch at the helm
Been going strong for 3+ years, have had to replace batteries a few times but a tray of those on ebay is only a few bucks.

OC beautiful setup! 2 great anchors. I would sleep well....I just sold our boat with a genuine Bruce and my wife and can’t praise it enough.
Our new boat came with a Danforth, we only have been on the hook a few nights with no problems , but it just don’t look right for the size of boat.
What brand of winch?
Are those custom bow rollers and brackets?

The windlass was made by "Ideal". They were bought a few years ago by Schaefer.

I don't remember the manufacturer of the bow roller assemblies, but they are a stock item for several distributors and online boating supply companies.

I second the cheap wireless remotes. I added one last winter and it's been great. No more up/down signal to the helm (no foot switches on my boat)

Not trying to be nosy, but what is the current going price for a boat, anchor, and wife?

It's for sale. the Slow speed is fine, the high speed works but you have to really pull on it. Damn thing weighs a ton.

Lofrans Tigres, taken while at anchor (35# Delta, full chain, snubber on). Second roller on left carries either a 29# folding anchor or 22# Bruce, used for fishing.

This is the set-up of my GB36. I've since had to rebuild the pulpit and mounting arrangement but don't have a pic of the final result. Will be down to the boat this weekend and will take an up to date picture.

Mine is a mess! In the process (with a separate thread) of rebuilding the rotted out platform out of Starboard. Today I had the Samson post support tabs re-welded; should have it buttoned up tomorrow.
Still not going to look as pretty as some of these setups. Proud of my Super Sarca though.

Some fine looking tackley bits y’all are sporting. Here’s Sylphide’s simple setup. Single vertical Muir 3000 with power up only and local foot switch control only. I’d like to rework the roller so that it’s a little farther forward to keep the point of the anchor a safer distance from the bow, but if works for now.

It must put some increased sideways pressure on the through deck though?

Your shanks aren't on deck? Do you have a pic of the anchors?
