What do you mean comes off? Do you mean the line is not catching? Make sure that your gypsey nut is tight and make sure that the spring on your control arm is pushing down. My spring was not pushing the control arm down and it was very easy to remove 5 allen wrench bolts and remove the arm and spring. Greased up the spring and put back together and now the arm pushes down on the chain and line nicely.
Do you have a tension knob on your windlass? If so, try tightening that, but not fully tight, you do need some drag in case the anchor drops while underway.

@Liberty44140 - Thanks for the tip on greasing the spring ect... I'm going to look at that.
@Liberty44140 - what did you use to grease the spring?
