I am in a bind. My boat has an Ideal CWM windlass and the wildcat for
pulling chain has worn down so badly that it doesn't work anymore. The
boat is due to do whale research in August in Alaska, with some
challenging anchoring situations. Meanwhile, Ideal is on vacation for
two weeks and doesn't respond to any e-mails, etc. Does anyone know of
other sources for Ideal parts. I am needing the First Mate Model CMW
wildcat for 5/16" chain. Thanks for any help. If you prefer to
respond to e-mail, I an at .
