ENDURANCE MARINE DRUM WINCH
Trouble Shooting Guide
Spooling of the rope and chain:
♦ If there is a buildup on one side of the drum
The winch has been installed off centre. This means the centre of the drum has not
been lined up on the centre lines between the bow sprit and the centre of the anchor
well or the winch installation is not square to the bow sprit.
♦ On retrieval of the anchor
If the rope and/or chain jams on the baseplate of the winch you have over-spooled
the recommended capacity of rope and chain onto the drum.
♦ If your anchor fails to fall
When the down switch is activated, check that there is a natural force of gravity when
the anchor is up and located in the bow sprit to displace the weight of the anchor over
the front of the boat.
♦ If you over-run the rope and the rope spills over the side of the drum
Have a second person apply tension on the rope whilst you inch the winch in reverse.
Continue this process until all of the rope is spooled back onto the drum.
♦ If the actuator malfunctions
Check and/or replace the 5 amp fuse in the fuse holder located at the back of the
switch panel.
Electrical operation of the winch
♦If the operation of the winch slows down – check that the batteries are charged or
connect to a second battery. If your boat is fitted with dual batteries, have the battery
switch on BOTH.
♦If the drum spools only in one direction check the connections to the solenoid,
motor, circuit breaker and battery.
♦ If your winch fails to operate check that the circuit breaker is switched on.
♦If the anchor is stuck on the bottom and you hold your finger on the up switch, the
circuit breaker will trip out. If this occurs, re-set the circuit breaker, drive your boat
forward and retrieve the anchor.
