Just bought a 99 31 Open that I really like.
When I was out the other day we anchored up and when we were ready to leave and I was pulling the anchor the windlass would just spin and not grab the line. When I put a little pressure on the line with my hand it would start to go but when the pressure was off it would just spin again. Once I got to the chain it was fine.
Any idea what this might be??? The windlass is a Maxwell
