When you can’t tie off anchor rode to unstrain the windlass>Solutions?

I have the good fortune to own a fine big beamy 35′ downeaster. Heavy boat, displacemnet hull. I have the bad fortune of having a bad back. I have a windlass on the boat (Profish 1000) and it has broken down 3x in 3 years. Why? I think you know. I can’t always go up and tie off the rode too unstrain the windlass. It’s ironic that the time when you most need to tie off the rode (bad conditions) is the time you are least able to get to the foredeck. Other than the anchor ball system. Has anyone seen an anchoring system that allows somehow for the rode to be tied off somewhere else or has anyine found a windlass that will withstand the rigors of the strain on the line? Looking for any recommended solutions. Thanks Ray
