Quick Fix for Quick Aires 500 Windlass

Quick Fix for Quick Aires 500 Windlass

Description : Here is a quick fix for the slippage problem with the passage of the splice of the rope and the chain with this windlass. The stainless spring steel finger backing up and putting extra pressure on the plastic pressure finger is a rudder lock that is screwed and pop riveted to the side of the windlass. The lock is Schaefer part # 82-01 and is West Marine part # 252320 ($5.99). Bend it moderately before mounting. It already has the two holes necessary drilled in it. Two holes have to be drilled in the windlass body. The front hole has a screw, so that it can be removed and the steel finger re-bent, if necessary. This set up works great with my new polyester three -strand rode/chain splice. Problems? Contact Sea Wolf/Joe
