I'd like an answer to this too! I have a Muir Hercules manual windlass. I can take the chain in... but the chain won't go out. What's a chain stripper?

On our Muir electric, I use a handle to rotate the top squared socket counter clockwise to unlock the clutch to let the chain free fall.

i am having problems with the chain when i bring it in it will not fall it to the chain locker ,i know they make a chain stripper for this. it goes out ok when i release the brake. thanks blueharp

That is odd. I would think that the weight of the chain because of the distance of the fall would provide enough pull.
