NH fuses are available with a red indicator dot that pops off when they melt. Yours do not have it, so you can tell they triggered when the boat is dark or the windlass not working :))

It should be easy enough to follow the cables to see which does what - on ours the 100A is for the windlass, 125A for house bank. Get a white marker pen or some labels and start marking the cables - it'll be helpful later!

Pull them out one at a time and put a continuity meter across them.

On our B392006 it’s the fuse on the right- don’t ask how I know!

Try moving the windlass manually with the handle.  It worked for me. I suspect the motor had stopped on a dirty patch on the commutator. and th nudge moved it sufficiently.
