Today I've been in the boat measuring. Below you see the windlass and control box
And this is a close shot of the
control box.
And this is the
wiring diagram from
lofrans
When the
engine is shut off I got 13 v between M1 and +, M2 and +, B2 and +, B3 and +. When running the windlass the voltage varies in B2 or B3.
With
engine on I have 14 v between M1 and +, M2 and + but 0 V between B2/B3 and +.
So I have current as far as to the
control box but not to B2/B3.
I suspect that the feed cable that goes to C is the problem. It might be connected to a breaker that are controlled by the
alternator current. I can't find such a thing though. Below is the alternator
And the
battery separator
Please advise!!
