Line Care
Using the wrong type of line may cause the line to jam
and give excessive wear of the line. Muir Windlasses are
designed to run on 3-strand nylon line (supplied by Muir)
which has been specially treated with fabric softener to
prevent it from hardening up. It is recommended to soak
your rope in fresh water every 3 months with fabric
softener.
In case of a rope jam slacken off the windlass clutch to
free the jammed line. When retrieving the anchor rode
do not continue to run the windlass if the anchor or chain
is jammed as line slippage in the gypsy will cause
damage to the line.
