Lofrans Progress 1 not paying out freely
Hello Fellow Boaters.

I have a Lofrans Progress 1 on my sailboat. The windlass winches up and down but it does not release the 35lb anchor freely. Loosening the nut at the top as per the user manual does not cause the anchor to fall freely on its own weight. Any ideas on how to rectify this?

Thanks.
