Could my windlass problems be related to battery?

[rolex_26_99]

Have a 2005 Rinker 342.

My windlass will not go up or down? I reset the breaker but still only hear a clic clic sound when I press up or down. Could this be related to week battery not having enough power to pull it up?

We spent the day and night on the water prior to this happening and I did notice our fridge was also a little warmer than usual.

Would the windlass be running on the house batteries? Would there be a secondary breaker or fuse I overlooked?

Another problem was pulling it in with no power!!! Did not see any manual release on the windlass..... So I pulled it up by hand and still on my deck until I figure out the problem??

Thanks for the info

Re: Could my windlass problems be related to battery?

It could be anything at this point.

What is the Voltage measured at each battery?
What is the voltage measured at the windlass as it sits?
And the voltage when you push the Up/Down Buttons?

Without the numbers is just a wild guess!
