Hi Guys:
My Maxwell windlass is leaking oil from the seal on the side of the
reservoir. According to the manual, the only way to fix it is to replace
the O ring. That’s easy but to fill it with oil, the unit has to be pulled
and filled from the top, not the side where the site glass/O ring seal is
located. I’m not comfortable doing this myself and we’re 2 months into a 4
month trip with most of the anchoring ahead of ourselves.
Can anyone refer me to a mechanic in this area or suggest another way to
tackle this problem? Thanks. Jim
