Default windless system, anchors away

Anybody put a windless system in that was discrete, nothing on the top deck. All inside the locker inside the cabin.
I have a PQ 340 Vyper that I want to install it on.
What brand did you choose and a parts list would be awesome too.

How are you going to address the anchor roller?

Maybe something like the fountain EC design.

You will need a deep space under the windlass for it to be problem free. Rope needs a large space to coil up as fed down using the weight of the rope to keep it feeding down, otherwise it'll bunch up in teh windlass and jam. Gotta have deep storage to make it worth doing!

Could make an anchor roller that hinges under the lid and will fold out and over the nose if room allows. Gotta be stout though.
