My outhaul winch has developed a screeching noise - see the attached video I've confirmed the noise does not originate from the outhaul car. I've opened up the plastic box containing the motor and gear box and cannot see a problem. The whole thing was serviced just. a couple of months ago. It is possible that the outhaul was overloaded recently since the rod inside the mast on which the sail furls has a bend in it. Does anyone have a suggestion what may be wrong?
