Wanted - Manual for Leroy Somer S801 Anchor Windlass

[Plum]

Plum that’s all understood. I suspect the drum is corroded - I’ve tried to release it with no success. Not ideal having to power the anchor down but that’s what we have always done, so I’ll continue to do that. Thanks. I imagine that it will give up entirely in the next year or two and I’ll have to replace with something more user friendly.
Mostly sail the East coast so not too onerous.

I am East Coast too. When you give up on it please let me know as I may be interested in it for spares. Thanks.

I had to replace ours last year. The motor was fried but the rest of it including the 10mm gypsy and drum is fine. Available for pick up from North Wales and a contribution to one of our local RNLI stations. Not Poole HQ.

Ours did, the magnets are glued in and the glue fails, the magnets rotate with predictable results
