[@JeepComeTrue]

Great video Capt. Your as picky as i was with my boat. Whoever buys your boat in the future, will be lucky.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thanks 👍cap, they will have a awesome Crooked pilotHouse boat👌👍

[@andrewfyakim525]

Hi Capt,... This video is very helpful! I have a video of me replacing a part I broke on the starboard side of the windlass, but I didn't take the port side cover off... I will now check mine, and do as you have shown here... Thank you! I put the boat in the water yesterday (had it our for the hurricane).. I had a lot of help from friends...

[@OutOnTheReef]

You did a lot all the meanings all at once that smart and yes it's good to open the other side to see what's the conditions of the anchor Wheels

[@ddeaae]

Thank you Captain for excellent video. I have learned more from your videos than any other channels. Thank you & Stay Safe

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thank you Debra 👍👍👍🏖⛵

[@GulfCoastRealtySales]

Thanks for your video. I had problem with the electric motor & was able to fix it after seeing how you opened the side of the windlass.

[@OutOnTheReef]

You're welcome thank you for watching and I'm glad it helped you because I did not find a video on KZbin of anybody doing this so I think it was a great idea to post it👍👍

[@captainrick9379]

Nice job! I don't know why Lewmar does not go head and put the extra silicone seal on the outside like you did.... That makes it so much better! Thanks for sharing!

[@OutOnTheReef]

Good question! i agree the seal they install is not the best

[@johnm5714]

Lewmar could’ve designed that thing so it had a SS Overhang covering that joint-that would’ve been better.you of course went the extra step sealing it so you should be good for many years.nicely done!

[@OutOnTheReef]

thanks John yes it will last more this way ,the factory seal is not that great, thanks for watching Cap.😉👍

[@andreragguette6298]

Ok I saw you twice driving down John young from pleasant hill. I was mad one time I was stuck at the light, the next I was at the Baber shop. Would’ve loved to say hi keep up the great videos cap

[@OutOnTheReef]

That is awesome Captain and the good thing is that we're neighbors and I'm sure we will have the opportunity again to say hello and thank you so much for being a part of my channel👍👍😁⛵🏝 Till next time Andre

[@AnotherHobby35]

Love your informative videos captain. Keep them coming !

[@OutOnTheReef]

Awesome thanks Roy ,have a great saturday Cap.

[@jacktyler7599]

Both these Lewmar windlass service videos are excellent, Cap'n. For some reason, it seems windlasses are expected to live on the bow and take the abuse of salt water with every passage, yet rarely receive care. Probably because they look somewhat indestructible. Excellent topic. Would be good to know if adding sealant made a difference.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thank you captain and yes the seal made a huge difference because it has not come off and no water is going in it so I recommend everybody to do this to their witness to help sort water out thanks for watching capitan

[@jacktyler7599]

Follow-up comment: An owner of these 500-700 series windlasses can apply a UV-resistant tape over the seal and surrounding the windlass. This is easier and probably longer lasting than silicone sealant and adds to the seal's waterproofing.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes cap. That's a better option than it will Really help And yes, anything to keep the water away. We'll make the windlass last longer.

[@bobjoncas2814]

..with all the prep and maintenance you are doing, the fish better cooperate when you hit the deep..lol..keep safe skipper..

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes if they only knew how hard I work to get to them LOL

[@Aaron.Davis56]

Good morning Capt. Remind your viewers to use 3M 4200 and not 5200 sealant. Loctite marine sealant is not perm. and works good too

[@OutOnTheReef]

Good morning Aaron and yes 3M products are much better I agree with you on that

[@steveluongo580]

Thank you for the excellent video Capt. Where can I find the replacement seal?

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thank you Steve well i got the replacement under warranty directly from lewmar

[@akajbssmith7423]

How do you like this windless? Any issues with the rode clogging in the locker? I’ve wondered why the didn’t mount it back another few inches to assist with centering the drop in the locker as it looks like you could? How many feet of chain are you using prior to the rode starting? This is going to be my next add and I figured I’d go with the same as it’s what I see most and the stock new option. Curious where the wire run is and the breaker? Lots of questions, sorry lol. Thanks for the vid.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes you are 100% right if they would position a little bit back The Windlass it will work better on accumulating that rope on the anchor Locker so occasionally if I have to retrieve 200 to 300 for the Rope I have to go to the Anchor locker and adjust the Rope which it's terrible so yes I do have a problem with that but in the future I'm going to try to engineer something that will help me with that in the inside of the anchor Locker I just haven't had time to get to it

[@foreverfixin]

I like the llumar Windlass but I think I'm going with the drum Style my last boat I had stinky rope in my bilge the drum style prevents that all of its on deck no more stinky rope in the bilge and nasty chain chain particles that could stop up your bilge pumps

[@OutOnTheReef]

Very true captain in your situation it may work best

[@OutOnTheReef]

I like the name of your KZbin channel that goes along with my videos😁👍👍

Gracias Cap. Saludos

How has the windlass held up?

[@OutOnTheReef]

Awesome cap. Is in perfect condition

[@ceelo99]

I am considering purchasing the same Windlass. how often has it failed or stopped working? The reviews on them are both good and bad

[@OutOnTheReef]

After I Did maintenance to it I have not had a problem about 3 years of use right now just make sure no water goes inside and you should be fine it's an awesome unit

[@Grady252]

Hey Cap, where did you purchase this seal kit for the Windlass?

[@Grady252]

Sorry, cap, got distracted and you got yours from Lewmar. My first Windlass destroyed due to rust and failed seal, so on my second one. Very paranoid with water coming in so this time, I opened up completely and greased very heavily with Lucas Marine Grease. Once put back together, I found some chrome tape just wide enough to cover the seal and stick to the surface edges which helps keep the sun damage and water off the seal. Hopefully, this will work as save my windlass. I think I found a source for the seal from MauiPro online, seems to be the only place I can find them.

[@OutOnTheReef]

mine was replaced under warranty, i would call lewmar if i was you to see how they can help cap

[@soflo_justin934]
