My Harken 6:1 suddenly quit ratcheting this afternoon. It now free wheels (no binding) - but does not ratchet. Nothing appears broken. It looks exactly like this one (w/o the red):
Is there a way to open this thing up & inspect for a problem? It happened today while sailing in 30 mph gusty winds (if that helps). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: I can't delete this post or I would
.I'm sitting here at my desk w/ the Harken & just realized that little black post on the side slides up & down. I slide it up & the rachet mechanism turned on. I feel like an idiot now.. but it's not the first time.
