Quick Windlass

Snowcat was coming down the Tentom Waterway and at one lock we dropped our anchor to wait . It worked great. Next day we went to anchor and NOTHING. The windlass wouldn't make a sound up or down. Anybody have this problem? I checked the ten amp fuse in the locker and it was fine. Are there any other fuses in the system? HELP! Don Burton

10 amp? You probably have the wrong fuse. It is many times a separate circuit breaker, rarely a fuse. And it'll be a lot more than 10 amps...

The 10 amp fuse is only for the control wires. There should be a 50 amp breaker somewhere; ours is mounted on the aft edge of the port salon seat, but other locations were used also. Sometimes near the helm.
