<p>Larry good luck. And remember to use the KISS Method when troubleshooting. Keep It Simple Stupid haha. It’s an old and basic concept that dictates you always do the easiest and obvious stuff first. Then if it doesn’t fix it get more detailed in your approach. <br/>Mike</p>

<p>Sounds like you need to give that windlass some TLC. I used to clean and apply a light coating of grease to all the surfaces in and under the gypsy. It remained smooth over a 10 year period. Five of those years were spent cruising full time on the east coast as well as the Bahamas. As for modifying it I wouldn’t do such a thing. Just do the maintenance annually and see if that takes care of your issues. I’m betting it will. <br/>Mike</p>
