Vessel Info: 96 Tiara 31 Open, Crusader
I have the Tiara manual and specs for my 1996 31 Open, but the windlass documents do not have the model number nor can I find it on the windlass. The chain keeps jamming as it comes off the chain wheel before it dumps into the pipe, and I suspect a might need a new chain wheel (and new chain) but I can't figure out the specs for either. The windlass runs very well. Have emailed Maxwell with the serial number from the windlass but haven't heard anything back.
Any helpful suggestions?

Just make sure the chain matches the gypsy BB 5/16 etc. Hardware store chain will not work.

Update: Maxwell came through for me, and just wanted to give Will Vrooman, their rep a thumbs up. He emailed me today, after looking at the pictures I sent him Sunday that it was a Model VWC 800, uses 5/16 G4 high test chain, and sent me a PDF of the parts blowup and the manual. What a great response!
