We owe a huge thanks to a local friend that returned our ready to be primed windlass today. He who cannot be named works as a military contractor in a facility that services some of the US Navy's vessels. I went to him for advice in disassembling the windlass. Over time and countless soakings of salt water many of the stainless steel fasteners seized to the cast aluminum body. Together we were unable to make progress. So our windlass took a field trip to a military machine shop where our tax dollars provided all the fancy tools and experience to resurrect our windlass. Below is a before image of the windlass.
