Ive used zinc galvanized paint on running gear with pretty good results for several years. Trying an experiment this year though.....just had my newly tuned props ceramic coated....stay tuned!
It's a Lofrans Project 1000 windlass. You need the clutch nut. Lofrans is an Italian company and they don't make that model anymore. I can't remember where I found one but you should be able to locate a clutch nut for it for about $150.00.
I think I had the same snapped clutch nut a few years ago....I used a needle nose plier and was able to get it out with clockwise turning. I was dreading the fight but it ended up releasing much easier than I imagined.
Usually they snap because someone accidentally overtightened it thinking...
