I'm replacing a stripped
gearbox on my
Lewmar Concept 1
Windlass. The
motor and
gearbox are a
single unit so I have to replace the
motor as well. The
wiring on the original motor included a pair of 1.5 microfarad capacitors connected to all three terminals on the the motor. I'm wondering if I should transfer these to the new motor as well, but it's not on the
wiring diagram that it came with. Can anyone tell me what the purpose of these capacitors might be? I have an idea they might be intended to prevent
radio interference, but I'm not sure.
Thanks
