Failure to Operate Troubleshoot Chart: Reversing Toggle Control Switch (Part No. 0052519)
Is there voltage at the input terminal (positive) to
the control switch?
If no voltage is present, the battery isolation is OFF, the

Sluggish Operation Troubleshoot Chart
Is windlass overloaded?
Ease the load and ensure the battery is well charged.
Yes q No u
Check the voltage across the motor leads with the
windlass on. (Proper voltage is 13.5V. Constant low
voltage will destroy the motor).
Is the voltage low? (Below 11.0V on a 12V system?
There is a severe voltage drop in the circuit.
Check for undersized cables, poor connections or cor-
roded connections. Also check for resistance across the
battery isolation switch or solenoid. (Feel them to see if
they are heating up).
Yes q No u
Is the voltage correct? (Above 11.0V and anchor is
not fouled).
The motor is defective. Replace the motor.
