My
windlass (quick aleph from 2021 I believe) has stopped working and I am unsure why. I had
lithium installed since the last time I used it. It requires the
engine to be running to
work. When running the
engine, nothing happens when I use the
remote. I have attached a
photo of my
wiring setup for the controller. It currently shows
power coming in from the
batteries but not outbound. There is that ETA relay that isn’t defined in any manual that I suspect to be the issue. Is this what is telling the
windlass that the engine is on?
Where this gets more frustrating for me is that my
boat is still covered by warranty. The dealer said that the
lithium guys cut the wires to the engine start panel. The lithium guys said everything looks fine and they can troubleshoot it but it isn’t from their
work. My gut says that they are right and my dealer is lying (for the
record, he said they had it working up and down, called it a thruster at one point, and then said they cut the wires. A talking contradiction) but I’d just like to use my windlass. Any ideas of what to check next?
