New to us Grand Banks 42. Anchor windlass will ratchet chain up but will not let down.
I assume there is a brake that is stuck, but don't really know how to approach the repair.
Don't know brand or model number, attaching pictures.
Is it repairable? Or time to replace? If so, with what? We don't anchor often, but had to do an emergency anchoring a couple of weeks ago and almost lost a finger pulling out the chain by hand and dropping the anchor.
Thanks!
