Windlass Not Grabbing Rope. — i noticed that the windlass does not pull the rope through the gypsy. — are you saying the windlass does not operate in the up position? Cut the hole at an angle to prevent chain/rope entanglement. If the spring is missing or shot it will not properly push the rope into the track. There are some fraying close to the chain but. — if your windlass motor won’t run when it is activated with the control, it means something in the circuit isn’t getting power. Or does it just not pull the rope in? — if your windlass isn't pulling the rope and chain back into the boat then you are looking at either a windlass that is not. the windlass should not overheat and should not trip the breaker. That could be the control (dash switch, footswitch, handheld remote, etc.), the solenoid control box, or the windlass motor itself. — windlass lacks power to haul the anchor. I have a windlass that (as far as i know) is made to pull both rope and chain. Ensure the rode kit isn’t caught in the chain pipe (deck hole between windlass and anchor locker). To determine where the issue is, all you’ll need is a voltmeter. A more likely issue is that.

A more likely issue is that. there should be a pressure lever on the side of the windlass that is for the rope. There are some fraying close to the chain but. — i noticed that the windlass does not pull the rope through the gypsy. — windlass lacks power to haul the anchor. Tighten the windlass clutch by using the windlass handle on the top cap. the windlass should not overheat and should not trip the breaker. Ensure the rode kit isn’t caught in the chain pipe (deck hole between windlass and anchor locker). It may be that the wire size is too small for the round trip wire length. — if your windlass isn't pulling the rope and chain back into the boat then you are looking at either a windlass that is not.
