I have an anchor winch on my 30 ft Cruisers that is not working properly
. When I try to puul the anchor up it will not pull the line . I have
tightened the clutch and it still won't pull . I can get it to pull the
line if I take the tension off the line and pull the anchor up by hand .
I have been told that the line may be worn and that there is nothing to
grip ?? Any suggestions ??

My best guess, is the motor is worn out. You didn't say how old the
winch was... Is this like a winch on a 4X4? If so, isn't the cable
bolted to the drum when it's put on? Is this like a Windlass, or an
actual Winch?
