trying to trouble shoot my non-working windlass on my 2002 27 FV. I have power up to the switch, so now I want to check the solenoid. does any know where it is on this boat?

    I thought it was contained within the windlass itself?  Mine sometimes needs reset with the red toggle, though I know there are many types.

    mine has a separate switch and breaker. both at the helm. both the switch and the breaker have power to them. in other discussions a solenoid keeps coming up. the wiring diagram I have shows one, so I am still looking for it.

    In other discussions the solenoid for the 342 is behind the subwoofer which is at your feet near the helm. MAy be a good area for you to start on your boat?

    yes I saw those posts, but because I don't have a subwoofer, I was unsure of the location. now I have an idea where to start. thanks for the info.

    On the 360EC the solenoid is located in the vberth windlass chain/rode storage compartment
