The good news which I forgot to mention is that we had all the spare parts except the main shaft. While we were still on Lake Lewisville one of the workers there mentioned that they had an Ideal windlass just like ours except it did not have the chain gypsy. They had it on a shelf for 20 years and just wanted to get rid of it. Well, seeing that a new windlass is about $3500.00 we thought that the asking price of $85.00 was more than fair. Mark is seen here reassembling the windlass which was MUCH easier than taking it apart let me tell you.
