"Hi Guys,
On my 1988 Chris Craft Catalina 292 I have a windlass anchor made by Rankey Winch Co. Just recently it stopped working. So I replaced the two 5 terminal solenoids, continuous duty, and no improvement. I did open the motor and brushes seem to be like new, the rotor turns freely.
I then checked the voltage on all heavy terminals (solenoids and three motor leads), the voltmeter reads 13.5 volts on each. I also tested the leads from the switch and I got 13.5 volts between the three leads.
I have no schematics on wiring and I wonder if I wired the main leads incorrectly. I hear no sound from solenoids when the switch is turned to either up or down.
What do I need to check to find the problem?
Thanks
Gene"
