Default Electric Windlass: How Important?

I used to say that I didn't need an electric windlass.
Then I bought a boat that has one. I LOVE this machine!
I will never not have one.

I'll bet it sucks the power right out of your batteries. And I wonder
how long it will be before it starts to give you headaches. Will you
still love it then? Will you love shelling out the cash to rebuild it?

People say the same thing about their beloved autopilots and computer
chart plotters.

The one thing I really miss having on my cruiser is a high-speed
internet connection, but I can't afford it. No electric windlass,
autopilot, or big-screen chart-plotter either. -

poor, poor pitiful me,
it's amazing that I can get from point a to point b.
