This morning my Lewmar Sprint 1500 vertical windlass came to a grinding halt. If I let out a few feet of chain, I could pull maybe 15'-20' before the windlass slowed down again.
I learned from Lewmar that the 1500 is discontinued and they do not sell any parts for the windlass.
When a friend helped me remove the windlass from my bow, we found the gear case is full of mud and grease. I am hoping to clean and grease the gears tomorrow. I found one site P2Marine that has some of the parts for the unit.
Does anyone know of other resellers that have parts for this windlass?
What grease do you recommend for repacking the windlass?
Thanks
