First lift the chain off the chain gypsy so that there is no load on the windlass. Then see if it runs forward and reverse. If it does then the next step is to see if the chain is fouled in the chain locker preventing the windlass from pulling it out. Always wear a good pair of heavy gloves when working with the windlass or chain.
