Maxwell RC Windlass ID and Assistance
- Posted by: 390Express » August 20th, 2018, 8:40 pm
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
I have a Maxwell windlass, no idea which model. (it's off of a 390 Trojan Express, built by Carver, if that helps) It has an "enclosed solenoid" box, but the o-ring on the box doesn't look like it was ever installed properly. The solenoids definitely have some corrosion on them, but I haven't been able to test them yet. Everything from the helm back is right (switch works as it should and transfers power as it should), but I get nothing at the windlass.
I tried bypassing the solenoids to get the anchor down, so I can use the anchor without the windlass. I don't have the manual recovery handle (I need one and need to figure out where to buy one). I was told that it's a large torx bit, but a big negative there. After spending $60 on a T55-T100 set, I realized that none will fit. It's some proprietary handle size. It's approximately 1" point to point (it measures around .950 give or take .020). I ran a jumper from the power to one side of the motor and got it to move a small amount, but the issue was... if there's two choices, you go the wrong way first time, 100% of the time... That's what I did. Ran the winch a bit tighter, but only about an 1/8". It hasn't moved in 2 years, and it had a small amount of slack, I doubt I hurt anything.
However, after that, the motor wouldn't do anything, in either direction. Checked the breaker, etc., all the obvious stuff.
My question is two fold:
1) if I get new solenoids will these work? (former product code is 19045 on the box, to the extent that it helps)

Or is this the correct product?

and;
2) can a quality starter/electronic motor rebuilding place rebuild the motor for the windlass? Pics to follow, but they probably won't be here until tomorrow. I have a ton of work to do tonight. It's a white box mounted on the deck with "Maxwell" across it.
