Formosa41 - Formosa 41

One more part complete. It was in pretty bad shape. It got enough water in the motor that it rusted enough to dislodge one of the magnets. Innards were rebuilt at the “factory”. When I looked up the info on the maker of the windlass, I was surprised to find they were 30 minutes away from me. When I took it in I got a tour of the machine shop as well…pretty cool, and way cheaper than buying a newer inferior model.... $500
