First time anchoring since I bought my Mainship 350 one year ago. Kept tripping my windlass breaker on retrieval. Anchor chain straight down 100ft just off the bottom. Had to reset breaker at least 5 times to get the anchor up. Motor was hot. Could smell the gear oil. Couldn’t keep your hand on it.
Voltage on the line side of the switch was 13.44 volts. NO LOAD
With LOAD 10.4 then drop to 9.80 volts
Clamp amp reading initial start up 104 amps climbing to 119 amps running.
Breaker is a Lewmar 90amp breaker.
Batteries are new. Cables are 1/0 . Run is 30ft aprox
Bearings, seals, gear oil new as of refurbishment 8 months ago.
