There is a high amperage fuse that will blow if the windlass gets overloaded. The fuse is located
on the starboard side of the salon, behind the back rest of the salon cushion. There are two
large fuses next to each other; the anchor windlass fuse is the smaller of the two and is 100
amps.
You can tell if the fuse is blown by the tab that pops up. Compare the fuse you have removed
with the one in the chart table. To replace, first turn windlass switch off on the 12v panel, pull
the blown fuse straight out and replace with the new one that is located in the chart table.
If you have any doubts or concerns, please call Horizon first. Before replacing the fuse,
however, ensure that the windlass breaker on the 12v panel is switched on, and that the green
light is not illuminated. If it is illuminated, this indicates that the fuse is NOT blown, and that the
yacht battery power is too low to run the windlass. Please run the engine @1500 rpm for 15
min, and try again. If the windlass still refuses to operate, please call horizon.
Note:
The windlass remote control on Panache is detachable and should only be used when operating
the windlass. When the windlass is not in use, the remote should be detached and stowed below
at the chart table. The cap for the deck fitting should also be screwed on tight when the windlass
remote is not in use to prevent any water ingress.
