Replaced it all...
Two years ago the plate cracked, broke and cable got twisted and chain stuck...
Called Edison and they sure helped a lot. could send you pictures but all you have to do is look and work... I ended up ordering and replacing the complete set up... No to bad if you take your time and enjoy tight places.
Had some help from my Sea Scouts (
www.sailingnicaragua.com) and oh boy did we learn a lot. It cost us more than we wanted but hey its a sailboat.
Just got in from 7 hours on the ocean with guest and a wind of 24-26 waves 6-8 and she works fine... we check about each month as we sail year a round. Just keep cable clamps tight and all should be well.
