Need Help on Windlass Replacement - Lofrans Tigress vs. Quick Dylan 1700?


 

My 14 year old Leroy-Somers Windlass failed on my Lagoon L-440 (Hull #20; 2004 model year) and this 14 year old Leroy-Somers Windlass is "beyond repair."? (Leroy-Somers was purchased by Emerson which discontinued this line of Windlass).? ? To compound the problem, my original Leroy-Somers Windlass? was a "horizontal model" and the "first" recommended replacement for my Leroy-Somers was the Quick Dylan 1700 - but this Windlass only comes as a? "vertical model" and Multitech/Lagoon has suggested as a solution to purchase a "Lofrans-Tigress" Windlass which has been successfully installed on another older Lagoon L-44 and will work in the horizonta windlass configuration on my vessel.

So - Question:? Any thoughts out there on:

*Horizontal vs. Vertical configuration of the Quick Dylan 1700 (my horizontal configuration won't enable the Quick to be successfully installed...so says Lagoon)
*Lofrans Tigress:? Anybody have any success with this brand?? And any recommended dealer (Multitech doesn't carry the Lofran-Tigress)?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
