Ok I feel stupid.
That little hole through the
windlass clutch handle is for tieing it onto the
boat yeah?
I didn't.
Started thinking about this at about the same time I was deciding it was too late to dive through the
lifelines as it headed south. Oh well I thought, I'll tie the new one down, the
water looks kinda cold and murky and I know the bottom where we were dropping is pretty muddy so I skipped
diving for it and decided to hit west
marine instead.
Now I find its a little hard to track down
parts for the windlass! While I'm at it I'd like the part I've read about that allows you to
wind the
anchor up by hand too.
Any ideas?
