I have a 2005 C22 Sport. The port side sheet winch has jammed. It is a Lewmar CST14 - self-taling Genoa winch. The cap came loose while I was sailing and the self tailer spun on the winch. I tried to reset it by hand, hand tightening the cap. But, then the self-tailer spun again under the load of the Genoa and the whole winch jammed.
I can't loosen or remove the cover - even with using a punch and hammer in the slots that seemed designed for that purpose. The winch won't rotate at all. Is there some way to repair this or do I need a new winch?
Thanks,
OC
