Help with Simpson Lawrence 555 Windlass with CHAIN, Not Gear !
I have a Sea Tiger 555 S&L windlass that was apparently disassembled and not correctly assembled by a previous owner. I am having trouble routing all the chains and sprockets - I think there is a part missing or one of the two chains have been shortened.

I can't find any manuals on this - all of them show the 555 model with gears - but this is chain. It looks like about 35 pitch. On the outside it looks exactly like the 555 geared model.

Can anyone out there help me figuring out how the guts of this thing should work?
