By the way, the thingie that hauls your rode when you press the button
(when
referring to the entire gizmo) is a windlass.

If you have a portion of it with cogged teeth to haul chain, that cogged
wheel
is properly referred to as a gypsy.

I didn't think it was a proper windlass because I still have to manually
store the rode in the thingy in the deck. I feed it through that hole that
has the funny name. Hawse pipe? I think that's it.

Mine is just the roller part, I make couple of wraps around the barrel and
hit the button and it hauls in the line.

It's definitely not a gypsy then because you have to do the chain part
manually ... which is really the heaviest part. In fact we only used it once
to figure it out, it's easier and faster to haul the line by hand since it
weighs next to nothing. By the time you get to the heavy part you're on
manual haul anyway.
