Windlass Removal and Replacement Options


I have an outdated Maxwell RC windlass. Motor went bad, rebuilding it isn’t an option, can’t seem to find a suitable replacement motor, so it looks like I’m going to have to replace the whole thing. That said, I can’t seem to get the old unit apart. I got the old motor off, got 1/2 the gearbox out, but I can’t separate the lower gearbox from the top half, and the hole isn’t big enough to pull the lower gearbox through. I can see the bottoms of a couple bolts that hold the topside and bottom together, but I can’t locate them on the topside. I’m guessing they’re under the pulley that lifts the anchor, but I can’t get that off. Any advice would be appreciated. Here’s a couple pics:
