Doc,
Have had a similar problem. Did you find the UK site? I found the UK site more helpful and with a greater variety of parts. John was very knowledgeable and quick with replies. The freight was reasonable and prices better than the US site.

U.S. site - all parts special order - I suspect they get them from the UK site.

Great windless. A real worker. Worth repairing and updating.

Hello all,

I have a sailboat with a manual Simpson Lawrence windlass. It has worked extremely well until just recently. I took it apart and found a set of one-way free-wheel-sprockets had lost pieces internally and would no longer work consistently. I have searched the web and have found only one source for parts. The problem I'm having is that my unit (model 380001, the first unit?) seems to be a bit different than normal. The sprocket assembly seems to be welded/soldered to the main shaft. If so, I'll also need the main shaft assembly.

So my questions are:

Does anyone on this list have information on this windlass?, and if so, would you be willing to share your information?

    Is there another source for parts for this unit?

Thanks for you time,

Doc Turner
