|  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 use a ball, so much better and nothing to break!
