Lewmar contactor
Lewmar windlass failed, suspect contactor. Easy anchor retrieval with two lines, anchor bends and power winch. Has anyone rebuilt a Lewmar 68000320?

Re: Lewmar contactor
Short across the bat term to one of the legs on the contactor and see if the windlass runs. If yes, your suspicion is correct.

Re: Lewmar contactor
I have not taken one apart, is it just two starter solenoids in a box?
