Windlass

[Billv]

Here is a tough one I hope can be answered. I have a 2000 Marlin. I believe the windlass is an original H 600ff. The motor seems to work properly in both directions the gypsy is labeled 761 but there is no Fleming. Is the Fleming required on this model.? It doesn’t seem to catch when returning the line in. The picture in the manual for the 761 Gypsy Does not show a Fleming?

Does it have a Henway instead?

This is a serious question

Windlass Fleming damage

I have posted about this before. I have a Horizon 600 windlass. The Fleming gets damaged or broken 2-3 times during the summer. I just replaced it again yesterday. The Fleming goes around the spindle of the gears and bolts at the bottom to prevent the chain/rope from wrapping around the gears...

Seasick thanks but maybe I wasn’t clear the picture in the manual for the 761 Gypsy does not show a Fleming in place does that particular gypsy not use one?

If it works properly (which it sounds like it does because you said it doesn't get hung up) and the parts diagram doesn't show it... I think you've answered your own question

Just found that the 761 uses a metal fleming
