My windless will not work with 8 plaite. It bunches up at the pressure finger. Don’t want to go all chain

So wondering if there is a windless that works with 1/2 in 8 plaite?

You may want to look at Maxwell Windlass'.

I am looking at the horizonal free fall unit for my 22' Cruiser.

Part number HRCFF612V

Good luck in your search.

Thataway should weigh in on this as well.

Don’t know if this is the best windless for 8 plait rode, but the Lewmar 700H windless with 1/2 inch 8 plait & 1/4 inch ACCO chain has worked great for me during the last 11 years, while being used extensively. Also this is what Lewmar recommends to be used in the 700 H.
