Cable gauge is not the issue. He didn't change that. That leaves only poor ground. Clean the terminals and replace corroded fittings. Cut off the end fittings, replace them with clean-new crimps, clean all terminals with steel wool. Should be good after that. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

In retrospect; I concur with Capt. Perry. Poor connections as well as incorrect cable gauge will cause an increase in impedance thus causing heat.

Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2010 14:39:08 -0400 This sounds like a wiring problem You might have a poor ground or a poor connection on one of the heavy cables going to the windlass. Make sure you have the correct or heaver size cable for the distance you are going from the battery to the windlass. Take a test meter at the windless motor and have someone activate the windless. See what the voltage drop is. If it does not stay 12+ volts, it is a voltage problem. Good luck Capt.

Monty, Is your windlass made by Ideal? You can call them and discuss the problem with them. And if it is check oil level. Just rebuilt? Maybe something is binding in the gear housing. CNO Bill From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2010 08:51:52 -0700 Subject: [UnifliteWorld] electric windlass over heading? I had a problem with my windlass, it’s on my 1979 42dcmy. Ran the battery down one weekend in a small cove and then when trying to pull up the anchor the windlass started to smoke. The batteries are fully charged and the windlass still over heated and started to smoke. So I have just had the thing rebuilt and on its test run at the dock it started to become so hot on the end piece that the fresh paint became soft and to hot to touch. The housing was warm not hot, just the end cap...it ran great other than that but I’m wondering if that is normal and I just never noticed it before or maybe I need to replace the two solenoids ?? Anyone have an experience with these? Thanks.
