Pop off the mirror by the aft bed. It is in place with velcro. This give you access to the rhode locker. you can then reach up with a socket to unbolt the windlass. If you are replacing it the Horizon 700 is a direct replacement.
Back when I had my 342 and had to replace my windlass, I cut out a bigger hole behind the mirror. It gave me plenty of access and also allowed me to clean and reseal the rhode locker.
No longer a boat owner.....previous boat - 2005 Rinker Fiesta Vee 342
