Anchor Windlass - Circuit Breaker

[GSH]

I have a Bav 36 from 2013 with an anchor windlass problem. Operating the anchor using the plug in remote results in relay clicking noises but no action. In trying to sort it out I have looked at the Lewmar literature which shows a circuit breaker between the battery and the connector/relay but cannot locate said item on the boat. There also seem to be a few other differences from the Lewmar recommendations, boat is unmodified from new.

The main fuse seems not to have blown, and there appear to be other issues (Gypsy not freewheeling) but before taking lots of things apart I prefer to understand the system better. The wiring is difficult to follow, as others have noted in other threads!

If anybody can clarify I would be grateful.

Thanks
Geoff

Hi , check the cablels running from the battery to the windlass . Usually the breaker will be in a place around there and easy to reach to lift up the switch

hi,ours is a 33c there are 2  mega fuses and a breaker next to the batterys under the seat, probably somthing like that so heavy currant isnt going through the circuit board.

Thanks for the replies - stripping the windlass revealed an almighty mess, and some seized components, now removed. There appears to be power in the supply but a dead motor.
