Refurbing an old Nilsson windlass
In Response To: Photo Day ()

A friend gave me this one years ago in the Bahamas. Frank had to upgrade to a larger unit after getting a 60lb anchor. Until now the cost of appropriately sized wire has kept me from installing it on my boat. I need to replace the shaft key stock that sheered due to overload and the three dried out shaft seals. Other than that and a bit of paint everything else looks pretty good.
