I had asked my boat partner to take some pictures of the Lofrans Tigres Winch; I'm interested in the port side of the windlass housing all around the capstan, from as many angles as possible.

Despite sending him a picture of the direction I wanted the pictures taken from (see attached) he sent back a whole bunch from above!

Anyone got any, or can oblige?

If you type Lofrans Tigres winch into Google search and click on images there are some there.
 

Great, thank you very much.

Still open for more if anyone has them available; the housing design is slightly different from mine.

I case anyone is curious, I need to make sure I've got room for the sensor I'm making for my chain counter design; full details will be published when I've finished.

Odd enough last year I set up a chain counter in my Tigres and put the sensor just on the same place: in a homemade pvc "blob" fixed under the ratcheting wheel used with the emergency handle. I imbedded the small magnet into the wheel itself. Just wait a couple of weeks and I will send some pictures.
The only problem is that if you release the clutch and let the chain run free the counter does not count! Since that time I drop anchor using the windlass motor and I like it.

And also my windlass housing design is slightly different from the pictures; it is probably like yours: a newer version.
