I have a windlass on my 1997 searay when i try and activate, it makes
a loud click sound, but does not engage either up or down. I also
tryed remote (down only) switch on bow and it does the same thing. I
removed the up/down switch on the dash to check the connections they
are fine. The click sound seemss to be coming from behind the dash.
Do these units have a silanoid or capacitor behind dash that could be
failing?



was able to check the wiring and power suggestions this morning.
Found that i had powe at switch and motor but still not able to unlock
windlass. I then manually loossened chain and winlass started to
work. it would go up/down no problem but when the anchor tightened
into the storage positon it started to click again like the motor did
not have the power to get the anchor started. I loosened again and
motor engaged.any ideas whats wrong
