Please look at all your through the hull fittings. I would especially look at the gray water drain fitting. On my C22 the fitting exited below the water line and was attached to a closure valve. The valve partially failed allowing lake water to come in and exit through a rubber pipe that was pushed ...

When you push the handle to let it out does the handle and the winch move? If not push a little harder. There is no switch to release so it is based on a clutch in the winch. I was too gentile thinking I might break it. It takes some preasure to release the clutch and lower the cable. Since the winc...

What measurements did you use? They would be most helpful!
