I have the subject Windlass on my new to me Grady..
Having an issue powering up......the clutch does not pull in all the way to engage the gypsy......it stops pulling in and just spins w/o turning the gypsy.....bringing up the anchor.

Any suggestions?

We have the same winch in the shed ( sold that boat without anchor winch )
Good winch, provided set up correctly... but clutch would loosen over time,
try using a 1/2" ratchet ( l think ) to tighten it,
IIRC that is what they suggest to use if factory handle is missing or has gone for a swim,

Worked for us anyway,
