Anchoring is easy again

Finally, after about 2 years, I made repairs to our windlass, allowing us to set and pull the anchor by pressing a switch instead of having to lower and raise the anchor by hand!  After our trip to Pittsburgh, two weeks ago, I decided to make it a priority to get it working again.  I removed the complete assemby and motor - repaired the shaft and bushings and had the motor repaired.  I spent 2 hours installing it. Out on the water for the testing, and it worked great! No more dirty hands or sore back!
