I'm adding a vertical lewmar windlass and was wondering how much 1/2 inch rode I can carry in the orginal B31 locker without running into problems with the freefall of the line into the locker?

Probably about 1200 feet.

Yep, Mike's right on the money. Incidentally I have the same Pro Fish windless and "so far so good". I keep spare line in a 5 gallon bucket & anchor under the walkway. You will use the backup at some point. FYI use a crew member to watch the retrieve . That motor has got some gusto and if you tangle bad it will cut the line, at least one strand anyway. (School of Hard Knox) Good luck. Dave K
