Take things apart and find you need new parts. Yesterday’s windlass tear down to put the new brake on made me take a close look at the shaft key. It was bent from a recent overload with twisted chain. So, $5 worth of new 1/4″ key stock gave us the ability to make a new key. Of course, we had to find a friend with a car to go the 20 miles to the shop with the stuff. Otherwise it would have taken an extra day. As it was, yesterday afternoon David and the friend ran the errand. So, this morning finally David and I are back to 4 hands on getting that new brake in place!
