Like Mike says. For one thing, even though LFP is capable of high C discharges, it doesn't mean it likes it.
For the other, you shouldn't be using your windlass without your engine running anyway for safety reasons.
So a shallow-cycle starter battery is best. It's basically what they're made for. They're also a lot cheaper, so hey ;·)
Also, putting batteries in the bow... I wouldn't do it. They'll get banged around a lot, and I'm quite sure they won't like the sharp stops of the vertical motions - not would anything they're laid on. Just use thick enough wire.
[EDIT] Also, most LFP have a BMS. In this case, not a good idea. Cheaper to replace a battery than repair a boat :·)
