This sailboat was just given to me, the owner never used it. I'm not understanding the winch for the keel. I can raise the keel, but not drop her. I've turned the winch backwards (to no avail). Is there a release that I'm not seeing? I don't want my fingers near those gears/cable if the keel DOES drop down. Any input would be great! Oh yea, I checked the 3/8" bolt that's to lock the keel in place, I've removed it while it's on the trailer.

Thank you, Mike
