Your original post says the windlass only runs if engines are running, but now knowing it is connected to a start battery (even though a different battery is preferred) it should get some power, even without engines running. I`m wondering about the condition of that start battery.
Two start batteries, one port one stbd, often parallel automatically for starting, so a sick start batt might not be obvious.
