Simpson Davits Series 7

I have Simpson Davits on my Moody. I think they were fitted in 2008.

Until now they have worked flawlessly, but now the starboard up mechanism has developed a fault that on the up cycle the motor clicks but does not lift, and then suddenly lifts. Down is never an issue.

I am remote cruising off Panamá, and therefore I am relying on my own experienced skills.

I have checked the wiring and the conditions and tightness are good, without corrosion.

I am a bit puzzled by the ‘up’ being slow to start, when the down and all the port functions are great.

Can someone suggest a diagnostic or place to search for issues given the symptoms.

The battery is good and it does not matter if I am engine on (charging) or not. The clicking and then suddenly bursting into life has me flummoxed given that all is well elsewhere and the starboard “up” works on occasions.

Without situating the advice could a motor brush work for one direction and intermittently in another?

Please support me with technical advice and suggestions and not scrapping or fitting hand winch suggestions!
