    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:

    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
    • Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.

  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

Muirs usually have one side wildcat for chain, the other a drum for line. This one could be different, but...
 
Sorry it took me so long, but I was tied up with work. Here are some photos:

Windless

This looks close to what I need. One thing - all my chain is 5/16" HT, so the 3/8" chain gypsy's won't work for me.

Where would I be able to get the Muir two sides 5/16" chain Gypsy's ? Do they sell them separate ? if so where ? I looked on West Marine & they did not have them.
I then checked with Fisheries Supply & they do not sell them separate according to their web site ? They show that you have to buy the whole thing to get the gypsy's ? That can't be right, can it ?

I am local to you, being in Ventura County which is about 2 hours away, & can come pick it up after I go to the bank to get the money -- IF I can find replacement gypsy's for it ?

Can you assist me with that ?

The "Muir Chain Gypsy" Part # is: MPH1200133.

Maybe someone out there on TF can assist me in getting two of these "Muir Chain 5/16" chain gypsy's" PT# MPH1200133 - that I will need to make this work for me ?

Any one have an idea.

thanks.

Mike, try Muir direct. www.muir.com.au/contact. They recently supplied another TFer with parts, or more, I think from within USA. One way or another you should get help, they are a responsive company, but remember it is Saturday here.
Never seen one with twin gypsies before, but it should be a good buy if condition is good. Usually if it is an alloy case you get some corrosion under the paint, cosmetic really, latest ones have a composite cover.
 
Mike,

I'm no expert, but I think this can handle 5/16. If your chain was bigger than 3/8 I would say no...but I think it will work with 5/16. Email this guy at Muir and ask him: Michael.trickery@muir.com.au

I don't always check this email, so please call my office if you want to buy the windlass 310-855-2411.

Thanks.

Is there a year designation on the windless ?


One of the places that I am working with said he needed that to be assure the gypsy's would fit 100% ?


Thanks.
 
Here is the response I received a couple months ago from Imtra when I asked a similar question:

Good morning Ken.

Thank you for your inquiry.

A 133 stamping on the gypsy denotes that the gypsy will handle 5/16” HT (high tensile) chain.

The stamping for 3/8” HT chain is a 112 stamping.

The gypsy part number is our MPH1200112BC. List price is $675.00. Your discounted net is $506.25. This gypsy is in stock.

I have attached a credit card form if you would like me to get one going your way.

Enjoy your day and let me know if you need anything additional.
 
That seems a reasonable price for such a valuable piece of machinery.
 
The windlass is still for sale and would make an excellent Valentine's Day present!!!

Thank you

I wanted to thank Lucky Chucky -- I purchased the 24 volt windless & it was completely as advertised.

Perfect condition.

He also shipped me the emergency lever as it was lost in his boat, & he found it & sent that to me as well, all included.

All good & he is a Great stand up guy.

Thanks you very much.

Alfa Mike
