What make and Model? What does rebuild entail?

seawolf 520. Not sure on the rebuild. Was working well until I over stressed it during the hurricane. It locked up.
It might just need disassembly. No idea. If you are in the area, you can come look at it.

To clarify my original request, looking for electric horizontal windlass that will work for a chain/rope rode combo. Current chain is 1/4" high test American and rode is 9/16 (14mm) double braid nylon. I could change out the chain to fit the windlass. Let me know what you have.
