Problem with Lofrans windlass - Cayman 88
« on: March 25 2024, 00:47 »
Hi all,

My windlass runs constantly when switched on at the control panel. Plugging in the handset makes no difference - pressing the raise button just makes it run slightly faster (and no response when pushing 'down' button). The handset has been checked with a multimeter and seemingly no issues. Has anyone else had this problem and know a fix? 

Many thanks
Marcus

Maybe the relay is faulty. It is located behind the switchboard.

I agree... Relay's stuck, try tapping it fairly hard, it might dislodge the contacts.
