    Windlass Goes Up but not Down

    I’ve tried but I can not find the relay for the life of me. The motor is in the front and goes this way with the wires. Solenoid not in engine compartment or under dash. No idea. I give up. No idea where it could or would even be. I took the aft cabin access door out and the cables are there but...

    Windlass Goes Up but not Down

    in your scenario 1, i did that and manually let out some line by just bypassing the clutch or brake or whatever, then hooked it back to the loop/gypsey or whatever, and no same thing, just clicks. and same thing for your second scenario same result neither makes it free fall and i dont think its...

    Windlass Goes Up but not Down

    Honestly i have no idea the boat is new to me as of a few months ago and the previous owner said the windlass works perfect. I didnt check and have no reason to doubt that was his experience he was very honest about everything else. This is the first anchor system ive ever had. never had a...

    Windlass Goes Up but not Down

    I'm assuming the motor is fine because it goes up and pulls the anchor up. that has to be harder than putting it down? i do hear the click like it shows in the video. i'm confused if there was even a solonoid in this windlass or where it would be. the bow area where the motor is doesnt have any...

    Windlass Goes Up but not Down

    Issue i'm pulling my hair out with. Simpson Lawrence Sprint 500 goes up well but not down. Its just a click and a nudge. seems like powers going to the motor but cant find any good information online about the system. I'm including a video to get an idea. I know in the video it doesnt show that...

    buying a new boat, this is broken on the trailer. what is it?

    Picking up a new boat (canadian), and found this is broken off after the winter. The guy said he doesnt know what it is. I dont think its the brake line system because i mean you can see it etc. it goes to a garden hose fitting and im thinking its a undertrailer washdown system like they have in...

    Boat values

    5.7L engines with alpha outdrives (if you're considering twin powered on a 30ft+) are way cheaper in the end to buy with broken outdrive components and ill tell you why and give you the cheat code regarding these outdrives. It's all about gear ratio and year. 1991 and newer, every different...

    Boat values

    I have been boat shopping in the Ontario Canada market now for 2 months and here is what i've learned about it. direct points no fluff. I've talked to over 100 sellers in the last 2 months: 1) Fiberglass boat market is down huge, aluminum is up 2) Most sellers are delusional 3) Too many people...

    are these gel coat cracks or something more serious? (pic included)

    all good. yep makes sense. seems like the gel coat cracking is more of an indicator of the wood core rot, from just water over time.

    are these gel coat cracks or something more serious? (pic included)

    I'm not sure you read what you quoted before you replied. My post is asking for some advice or a scale score on how bad the cracks are in people's experience. It's not asking if i should buy the boat, how much i paid for the boat, nor does it warrant any other subjective opinion that i didn't...

    are these gel coat cracks or something more serious? (pic included)

    Not interested in discussing the cost of the deal. didnt ask about that. there is more in the deal that makes it a good one. Talking about the severity of the cracks and the cost if i wanted to take the boat further specifically to understand part-out or fix

    are these gel coat cracks or something more serious? (pic included)

    twin engines, if i rebuilt it it would need everything taken off and reglassing. that has to cost 10k+ right? CDN

    are these gel coat cracks or something more serious? (pic included)

    put it this way - if i had to scrap the boat and sell the trailer, it would still be very profitable. But i would like the boat. im just not financially at risk with it. id like to put the financials of the deal aside. like for the 4th time, im safe on that front. i wish to talk about the actual...
