Windlass Anchor Clicking at Ashton Sharkey blog

Windlass Anchor Clicking. I’ve used a multimeter to test input. Specifically, the solenoid continues to switch, making the “clicking” noise, yet the windlass does not respond. In that case, the problem may be more significant, likely in the motor itself, and you’ll need to get that anchor up manually and call in a pro who can disassemble it and diagnose. A clicking noise is a sign that the contacts are corroded or it’s given up the ghost and needs to be replaced. Went to anchor in newton and found my windlass that has been working great decided to stop at the crucial moment. If you’re trying to deploy your anchor and the motor is running and making a “clunking” or “clicking” noise and the anchor isn’t deploying, it’s likely that the chain or rope is tangled or caught inside the anchor locker. The solenoid is good, but still no luck? Windlasses are designed to not run when there is resistance on deployment to avoid doing any damage. It started to fail when weighing anchor. 1.1 the gypsy is not closed on the clutch cones and slips under the load effect, or for some reason the closing wheel is at end stroke. Use a voltmeter to check for voltage coming out of the solenoid. Check out all pieces in. First it weighed 20 or so. Until recently my solenoid could drop the anchor chain no problem. Do this for troubleshooting only, testing if the windlass runs and the only problem.
