Bismarck - Anchor mecanism malfunction

Recommended Posts

Hi there ,

I have just finished the stage in the seconde pack that conclude the gearbox for the anchor chains on the bismarck model but when i'm testing it the chains seems to be struggling to move up and down i tried to reassemble the gearbox but same problem.

When i take a closer look on the mechanism moving, it only make a little "tic" and move for less than a millimiter so the gear can engage but cannot maintain the movement. 

The junction between the motor and the shaft seems a little bit loose and the box is fasten very tight so i can't fix the little gap.

If anyone as an idea of what the problem could come from, i ask for your help.

Appart from that, I'm having a blast building this model 

Thank you 😉

I didn't have any problems with my front anchors.  But with all the Bismarck gear boxes I apply  a good amount of silicone grease to all gears and spindles and also after tightening all gearbox screws I wind them back an eighth of a turn as I find the gears bind if done up tight.
