SvenG I was just reading an old thread on your manual windlass. I have a slightly newer two speed version of the ABI. There are two different shafts for the two different speeds.
Anyways, my clutch is also frozen. How did you get yours loose? It would be great for deploying the 75' of chain in the deep alaskan waters I now find myself in....

I'm Don. I also used to be in Cabrillo Marina. I assume that's where you are. I was on 31-B-13 with my Islander 36 "Minggat" before leaving for Baja in Jan '08.
So you may be aware that boat #2 has been repalced. #1 is just now thinking about it. Pretty traumatic. I was here in Indonesia at the time, so you go the news before me.
