Windlass Solenoid

[sbmcwilliam]

Has anyone had to replace the windlass solenoid located in the bilge? My panel light will not go off leaving the windlass constantly in the on position. We previously replaced the windlass solenoid in the anchor hatch but this problem appears to be possibly a bad ground/fault in the bilge's solenoid for the windlass. I cannot find the SR part number and there's not a lot of information on the solenoid itself. I need to get a part number and where to purchase.

Not sure if yours is the same but try this - Intellitec Latching Relay

Here's manufacturer link - it's called battery disconnect 100Amp

Also available from RV suppliers or Amazon. You can clean it, replace the fuses and test it - it either switches or it doesn't - but fortunately it's relatively cheap in boat terms.

Mine failed this year - confirmed it was bad but it was the end of season here and truth be told I got a kick out of telling the wife she had to pull up the anchor. Only once, but I'm surely paying for that now.

Hope this helps; have a great day.
