    Where is the fuse/breaker? Discovery 246-gctid376035

    My windlass on my 2007 bayliner discovery 246 isnt working, I get a click from the relay but not motor noise. I found the fuse for the relay but for the life of me cant find the motor fuse or breaker... anyone have any ideas?

    Did you look under the port rear facing seat? The windlass panel is to the right of the DC power panel.

    See:

    Chapter 7: Deck Equipment

    246 ÔÇó Owner's Manual Supplement

    Windlass Pre-wiring (If Equipped)

    ÔÇó The hull is pre-wired to support the instal- lation of a windlass.

    ÔÇó Contact your selling dealer for help with choosing and install- ing a windlass.

          I think it has a Lewmar label on it, thats the windlass I have. I can snap a pic for you tomorrow...

            Sounds like the windlass on your boat was installed by someone other than US Marine. You'll probably need to trace the wires to find the fuse.

              I'll check it out when I get back to the boat Friday. Is yours a lever switch or pop out button?

                Mine is a lever switch, next to a panel of pop out fuses...

                  Ok I have a lever switch to the left of the panel with the "pop out fuses", it says master accessory switch on it or something like that. I tried to trace the wires back from the windlass, but it goes inside the side of the boat and the only place I see wires that might be them are at the battery connection and there a few of them that look the same. I'm pretty sure the windlass was put on by the factory, so I'm surprised I don't have a breaker labeled windlass or lewmar or something. I'm kinda at a loss as to how to troubleshoot this... I think my next step will have to be to charge up a spare battery and connect it directly to the windlass motor leads via jumper cables. Then if the motor turns I know it's my hidden breaker, otherwise there is no breaker and the motor is bad. Does my rambling make sense?

                  Btw, tried a new wax today, Griots Best in Show... simply amazing!

                    Is that lever tripped? Try resetting it a few times, like when you test a breaker, then make sure its set (not tripped) and try again.

                    Also, you probably did, but check the connections under the widlass, in the anchor locker. If they dont have a lock washer or lock nut (or even if they do) they may have come loose. Thats why your getting juice at he relay, but not the windlass (maybe)...
