Mikes anchor installation looks very professional and clean. I think another fine installation is the one of Popeye. With that you have enough remaining room space for fenders etc.
 


Exactly the same issue Stella Nova, my windlass is in the same position and your video could be mine, except that I had to push the rod much more frequently.



The windlass is mounted on a narrow stair, but the space under it is much too short : the rod doesn't slip forward at all.

There is a very interesting video on the Lewmar website : the recommendation is to have a minimum space of 30 cm under the windlass base, and in this figure the rod falls vertically.

My Hanse agent acknowledged this was not normally functioning, and obviously he has the same problem on other Hanse 370's. We shall make something like lukemi, but more in front of the well if possible, to keep the free space behind.

I had the same problem that suddenly I had to pull up the anchor myself. I first tensioned it by hand and no succes. Later I read about the wrench and that fixed the problem for me. The windlass is working fine now.

Is this really the solution from Hanse on the latest 370 models? Hanse has not learnt anything from experience on the previous models. From a bad windlass arrangement on the 2007 models, they have ended up with a terrible solution! Looking at the photo, I can't see that you have any free space for the chain at all...
 
The shortfalls of the 2007 arrangement have been discussed on this forum several times and an arrangement similar to what Popeye has made as a retrofit should have been adopted by Hanse.

I want to move my anchor windlass to a different location so that the chain does not stuck up all the time. I believe the only way to dismount the windlass is to cut a hole in the side of the windlass plate. Has anybody tried this? Or other suggestions to dismount?

I borrowed a picture from this thread there shows how my windlass is mounted.

Jens have you tried looking at the forward bulkhead in the v-berth. There should be an access hatch going forward allowing access to underneath the anchor locker and the mount for the windlass....

I looked for an access but there is none. I have a small inspection hatch in the bulkhead but the windlass is much further back. I tried with a small inspection cam from that hatch. Not very successful since there is not enough light and room but it seems as if the step is added on top of the anchor well. The earlier 370/400 models did not have this build in step so I think they have just added the step on existing well.

I recon you should make an access hatch in the v-berth. Several have done so... I think.

I have cut the largest inspection hatch I could fit in the bulkhead in my forward v berth. I had to replace navigation wiring, etc, that got wet due to a leaking drain hose from the anchor well. It now gives good access to all forward wiring but I still can't quite reach the drain hose on the anchor well. I have sprayed it with a leak sealing spray and it appears to have fixed it.

I decided to make an opening in the side of the winch block to avoid inspection hatch in the cabin. However, it would be possible to get access that way. 
My intention was to put back the piece I cut out, but since there are cable joints in there I just added a plate to close the hole. 
Now that winch is moved it spins up and down without any help. Great!
