Windlass wiring

Here's the final windlass install.  the windlass in mounted to a structural element that will allow chain to be pulled through the hause  (sp?) pipe and fall below into what will be built out as an anchor chain fall space.  I think I will make a flexible rubber cover over all this wiring so that mud fouled chain goop will not be slathered all over my neat wiring.

( these operate the 6 post solenoid which hammers the contacts for the high amp winch motor ) 


What would seem to be a simple install required this pile of tools + more down below.
