Muir VRC 1600 Windlass problem?
My windless has been losing power over the last couple of days and appears to have sprung a small oil leak on the bottom, as you can see in the photos.
Also the nut and washer on the bottom of the unit appears to have dropped down slightly? See pic. Does this look normal?
Thanks
