Our 2003 Mainship 390 has the original Lewmar windlass, no issues with the unit whatsoever and we anchor a lot. The Lewmar solenoid, however, is another story. I rebuilt (disassembled and cleaned the contacts) on the original many times, got fed up and bought a new one. One year later it had the same sticking issues. I ended up building my own unit using standard pick-up truck starter solenoids......four years now using that and not one hiccup.
