Can anyone shed some light? I have a 2001 sea ray Sundance 310 that the windlass is not working. When I push switch up or down it clicks at the fuse on port side where battery switches are. Where should I begin?
 
Think the rode is stuck? Can you move it at all without the windlass? Sometimes chain can twist and get stuck

I used the release bar to manually release it and it came out but still does not work coming in or out. Would you know if the control box is located in engine compartment? Connections at windlass look clean. Thanks
 
Control box should be within a few feet of the windless. My guess is either it is faulty, or it has no power.
If you look at the schematics, pretty simple system to troubleshoot.
