It might not be the off road truck projects you guys are used to, but it does have a winch! This bowsprit rebuild was a massive project that included rebuilding our anchor windlass completely. The hard part wasn’t actually rebuilding it, the really hard part was pulling it apart. Just the disassembly of the winch took two full days. Years of neglect had seized the bell of the windlass on to the shaft. I had to use a large puller tool, an impact driver and lots of heat cycles before it finally broke free.
