1987 Sundancer 270 Windlass Motor

[Bob Deerinwater]

My windlass finally gave out on me so I decided to take it apart and see what the issue was. Mechanicall the Windlass is in great shape the problem is the Motor is completly gone. I reached out to power winch the maker of the windlass as they have engineering docs on the motor they do not know of a replacement. Not sure if anyone else has had an issue like this. Info on the motor is
United Technologies
Electro Systems
1739424M030MM
2 1278 12V
Any help or ideas would be appreciated

sorry but that sounds funny. “Doctor, how’s the patient? He’s in great shape, but his heart is shot”.

Now that I read it again it does sound funny.... but I have not thrown in the towel just yet for the motor. Don't really want to drill holes in a 34 year old boat.....

Would you happen to have your owners manual? I'll pay for a copy.
