==================================

Yes, and there is another possibility that I've experienced. On my
Simpson Lawrence windlass there is a clutch pressure adjustment that
would allow slippage between the motor and the wildcat if not adjusted
properly. If your wildcat/capstan stops turning but you can hear the
motor running, that may be your problem.
