My port sheet winch is locked up. It is a Maxwell 17c. I took it apart cleaned everything, regreased all the components, re-assembled the winch and it still is locked when I turn it by hand. If I use the winch handle it seems to work normaly. Also if I back off the spanner nut I can get to turn by hand. Any suggestions?
