I have bent two stripper arms on the electric Lewmar 40 CST cabin top winch on my 43. I use it essentially only to furl / unfurl the main. Anyone else experienced this? It is subtle, but if you look closely at the stripper arm, it may not have a vertical edge, but be slightly bent to the left. Also, the top plate of the stripper arm may show a slight bend. Anyone else experienced this? It was just enough to cause a drag on the winch operation.
