Windlasses- advice needed and help in seaching posts

[Joel]

I know this is not a new subject, but I'd appreciate someone pointing to postings most relevant to my situation, commenting and telling me how to view photos on the 365 site. I've reached the age where my back doesn't want to do the manual lifting so I want to install an electrical windlass.
Counterpoint is a 1979 365 sloop.  I have been using an anchor roller offset  from, but fastened through the teak platform for my 33# Bruce ( see photo of configuration shown on someone else's boat with a Delta).  I'd like to continue this using roller setup so I can break the anchor free using the boat. There is some interference with the dolphin strikers (which I want to retain) so I now have to manually twist the anchor to get it up the last foot.
My questions primarily relate to the selection of a windlass and its location. I know that the dolphin striker situation will have to be modified (perhaps to a "y").  My boatyard, which will do the work has some issues/questions relating to the height of the windlass (vertical? Horizontal?) to clear the cleats; the footprint for getting around on the foredeck is also important.  They're thinking of the Lewmar Profisher 1000 (in order to accommodate a 5/8" rode), a profiser 700 or V700.  Both 700's use ½" rode. 
We plan to use the aft house batteries with a heavy copper bus.

I'd appreciate all inputs.

Joel,
The dolphin striker thing has me confused, and then you say strikers (plural).  I can not picture this at all so a picture would be helpful. As far as viewing photos, if they are on the post you will see them. 

I have a vertical windlass (Ideal out of Rhode Island) with a chain gypsy.  The bottom of the gypsy is level with the top of the anchor platform. It is fed from the house batteries aft. I will look for a photo.

Dale, Thanks for replying. When I try to post a picture I get the following "the upload folder is full. Please try a smaller file and/or contact an administrator"

I turned the JPG to a 16 MB PDF to get under the size limit.

If you would send your  e-mail address to me at  jebecker@optonline.net I'll attach it to my response.

Incidentally what type of windlass do you have?

Joel
