My wife hates our windlass and would like nothing more than a new, easier-on-her setup. Went out yesterday with some friends and anchored for some lunch. Same old same old, hard to control the descent but it went ok. Got ready to leave and went to pull anchor. Hit the foot switch and.....nothing... tried remote on FB and...nothing. Could hear a click from below the windlass but not in the bow pulpit space below it where the electrics are located. Opened the anchor locker and the sound was off to the port side but not in there. It sounded like it was in the hull somewhere outside where you would think it would be located. I'm sure it is a bad relay of some variety. Had to pull the 74# anchor by hand. Now...what to do....

Tired of this windlass and want something easy(ier)!
