SL Windlass Problem
Keep in mind that on many SL electric windlasses, one of the needle
bearings IS a ratchet. It is designed that way so that the anchor rode
will not reverse the motor under light load. In my SL seatiger, I had the
same problem and simply removed that bearing. It unfroze my windlass and I
have never missed the ratcheting feature.
