I would flip the switch to ratchet mode and leave it. The other choice is to replace it with a new Harken Auto Ratchet.

Silicone the crap out of it as well and that may help.

Continuing my renovation project on the woodwork.  Can someone tell me how these spring pins are mounted?  Are they screwed in, Press fit?  

I'm getting ready to strip, sand, stain, and varnish.   

Thx

That pin can just be tapped out with a hammer. I would suggest fiberglassing the head after you sand down to bare wood then poly over it.
On the rudder head, I would see if someone can weld the aluminum and I would have them scab in a piece where it broke unless you have it. I don't feel that is a high stress area.

New inspection ports installed, rudder attachment plate strengthened with fender washers and nuts, so it will rip out the whole transom if she goes.
