Have you tried a google search for ideal windlass manual? Lots of hits incl pictures and diagram, a you should be able to find something useful...
Unthinkable any windlass with a releasable clutch is fine as long as the clutch is released once in a while so it can work has designed On the...
You re going to pull the line capstan to pull and line the clutch
Check the link i posted earlier, they have a number of IP cams. Models change all the time so I m sure the ones I bought last year have now been...

Here is video with VHF traffic taken right before the actual grounding. Surprised that BIG centerconsole wasn’t able to pass a line and the...
One possible explanation I read elsewhere was a malfunction with the fire system. It s pretty much the only thing that can kill both engines and...

If hydraulic windlass, no power = no windlass but still should have released. Now of course pretty much all SF have ridiculously small anchors so...
Surprised nobody posted this.. no idea what the story is but…
