I posted this over the weekend at the end of a seperate thread, then later realized the thread I posted in was in the "holding tank" area, which probably isnt the best place for my question. Ill repost it over here and hopefully someone can help me
Ive somehow managed to get my Lofrans Marlin windlass jammed yesterday while pulling up the anchor. Ive also somehow managed to misplace the clutch handle which i was hoping to use to release the rode (although I'm not sure if thats even the right step to release the jam).
1. Will loosening the clutch release the jam or should I be trying something else?
2. If I have to buy a new handle to release the clutch, are these standard sizes that I can pick up at a local West Marine? Or will I need to order a replacement specific to my unit?
Thanks,
