Up until recently, I thought that the Barlow 24 winches on my 1977 E-32 were only single speed because they only operate that way. Now I've been reading various web sites and other literature and it all says that Barlow 24s are two speed.
I thought that I knew how to operate two-speed winches based on having had them (not Barlows) on my two previous boats - turn them one direction for low speed and the other for high speed. When I try to turn the Barlows in the high speed direction, they won't move.
Am I doing something wrong, could there be a problem with my winches, or are the Barlow 24s really single speed?
Thanks,
