1999 31 Open-- Maxwell Windlass Problem
#1
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
