Why is my Lewmar Marine Equipment operating sluggishly?
- TTimothy PearsonAug 9, 2025
If your Lewmar Marine Equipment is operating sluggishly, several factors could be at play. First, check if the windlass is overloaded and ease the load. Ensure the battery is well-charged. If the issue persists, measure the voltage across the motor leads while the windlass is on. A significant voltage drop indicates undersized or corroded cables, poor connections, or resistance in the battery isolation switch or solenoid. Finally, verify that the voltage is correct; if it is, the motor may be defective and require replacement.
