Have the same prob on my 700 pro to cut along story short and many hrs.Watch your video you will see that the allen key bolt travels in and out of clutch assy there is a spring set up that is sticking remove bolt and clutch assy with sordfish/ clean up and drown with inox /crc this treaded piece is spring loaded some how .refit to unit and wind in and out. may take several strips but will eventualy free up spring and let unit travel full distance and winch will retreave properly .Happy Fishing
The winch must be serviced. Disassemble and lubricate as shown here: ua-cam.com/video/EYo31dDaSXc/v-deo.html Be sure to clean and lubricate the threads on the wheels otherwise the wheels will not run freely and will not lock and open free fall. Lubricate the threads and exercise the wheels at least (10 min) by hand. You feel when everything is running smoothly
They do that right out of the box. Lewmar service is the worst. Do they really think people want to wait weeks to use their boat while you ship a brand mew winch to them to figure out what is wrong.
Same problem with my 1000. Sent it back and Lexmark fixed It.
It’s the free fall system. Read the manual. It is use when dropping the anchor in the water so your boat don’t need to use power. “Free fall” .
nothing wrong here
