Windlass problems

summerx

all,
I had some issues with my windlass today.  I got it caught on a crab pot line.  It pulled the line all the way up but was wrapped around the anchor.  I managed to get it released and everything seemed ok.  
I went to a cove and anchored no issues.  When it was time to leave a few hours later I had nothing?  Check both the reset by the battery switch as well as the separate windlass breaker.  Tripped and reset it. Still nothing.  Ended pulling in the anchor by hand. 
is there another fuse I'm missing??

Did you take the cover off the windlass to make sure nothing had jammed? Also might want to check grounds, battery connections. These units use a lot of juice.

I loosened the nut and was able to spin the windlass.  It really seems as if there was no power to it?  Gonna have to explore the electrical side of things.

Sounds like loose connection or ground issue.
