Dear all.
Our Dutch Gruno 1050 from 1986 has a Vetus Alexander installed. I haven´t used it very often but now it will not free fall when I release the brake. It rotates slowly a couple of inches and then just stops. I am beginning to suspect a lot of old grease might keep it from free falling. Pulling in is no problem.
Would love to hear from any of you with experience of this windlass.
Greetings from west coast of Sweden.
Thanks, Björn
