7.3 Control arm replacement/ service
Remove gypsy, proceed as §7.2.
• Unscrew control arm shoulder screw using a 3 mm Allen key.
• Remove control arm and torsion spring from the base plate.
• Wash with clean water (Not Jetwash). Replace components if necessary. Assemble in reverse order and apply
grease to spring
8- Troubleshooting
1. Anchor rode pays out independently while windlass is not in use.
• This problem is a result of not securing the anchor rode combined with the gypsy drive cap being slack.
Tighten the gypsy drive cap using the winch handle and always secure the anchor rode independently of the
windlass when not in use.
2. Failure to operate or sluggish operation.
• The majority of these problems are electrical in nature. It is essential that the proper voltage be maintained.
The typical operating voltage range at the motor is 10.5 - 14 Volts, constant low voltage will damage motor.
Ensure electrical cable size is large enough to handle the current draw and keep voltage drop within accept-
able limits.
• Check control switches, connections, battery condition, isolator switch, fuse and motor for operation failure.
3. Failure to operate.
• Is there a voltage at the input terminals to the contactor and switches. Check the circuit breaker/isolator
switch and any fuses.
• Operate the switch. Is there voltage at the positive switch terminal on the solenoid. If not, the switch (or its
wiring), is defective.
• Keep the switch activated. Is there voltage at the main output terminal on the contactor. If not check the
contactor coil ground circuit. If okay, replace the contactor.
• Check the voltage at the motor. If voltage of at least 9 volts is present and the motor does not operate, the
motor may be defective.
