I am looking for help in identify the Anchor Windlass type. It is exhibiting slightly unexplained behaviour as it runs at a normal speed for a minute and then reduces to a crawl. If I toggle the switch, it stops and then restarts at its normal speed and then again reduces to a crawl after a minute or so. I thought it might be due to warm cables or batteries however the switch is only off for a moment and certainly not long enough to allow for cooling.

As a partial response to what holds the boom end down, I have attached a pic of my boom. I have a bit of rope which restricts upward movement of the boom at the mast. I plan to replace this with a small locking block and tackle when I get to it.
One of my outer teak rails is separating from the hull. I am using the term “outer teak rails” however in case it’s the wrong name, I mean the teak board which is affixed to the outer part of the hull and runs fore and aft. The teak board is not yet in any danger of falling off but it needs secured. It looks like these boards are screwed on. I was wondering if any of the other owners have considered using bolts with an external flat head to secure these rails and if anyone can advise of what bolt type was used?
