Gile, Relays usually work or not. They burn up and stop working. They convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. When engaged (pull) they cause a mechnical part to do its job. If the gypsy is moving then then a mechnical part is slipping. Either a clutch or some other teath part is slipping. Who makes your windlass? Rope? Chain? If rope, the rope may be worm slick on the sides. Reverse the rope end for end unless its been done before. Or cut it back to an unslick part. 25' will usually do.

I believe assembly is original. basically the anchor was going up and down really slow and it looked like there was no power in the pull at all (was going like a foot in ten seconds). I did some quick research and I find out that solenoids get dirty over the years and loose strength (or something like that...I am not so good with electrical part at all). So I've made a exact note of wire positions. Ordered two new solenoids (believe 12 V continuous). Put everything together....yeap ....nothing.... not the buzz not a sound not the move..... Original solenoids had markings RBM controls 12 V on the bottom one had also FD the other was AC. They have these numbers on the side 70111224-5, also one with FD mark on the bottom has 1564 number on the top of it.
