Original Galleymaid vertical windlass with 3/8" BBB chain. Looking to replace the rode with 3/8" G4.
The concern is the compatibility of the wildcat accepting the G4. Anyone have experience going down this rabbit hole?

Re: Galleymaid Windlass question
You ll need to replace the chain gypsy, different shape links. Why not stick with BBB

Re: Galleymaid Windlass question
You will need new chain Gypsy for sure if you chang chain. I had G4 chain and a mismatched gypsy (some random size that was custom size chain from Hatteras used from factory years ago apparently!) and it made retrieving the anchor legit unsafe. I cut a foot of chain and sent it to Galley Maid and they sent me a new matching gypsy and the upper and lower friction plate which made sense to replace while it was apart. Now all is good for my Mantus. Very helpful support from galley Maid
