windlass slipping
I have a windlass on my boat that when I go to pull in the anchor it wont pull it up without someone helping to pull on the rope,I thought it was the rope that was crushed so I cut off 40' of it but that did not help I guess it is the windlass mechanism that is bad (not gripping rope) is ther a way to adjust this?

tighten the clutch on the gypsy, use your manual handle to tighten the center bolt on the windlass

Throw it away and get yourself an Armstrong windlass.
