I am having issues with my Good Windlass. It's a CFD freefall model. I've checked voltages/ solenoids, cleaned and checked ground. It worked Sat morn and then Sat evening, just clicked. The motor never spins. Output voltage to the motor is low when solenoid is actuated. I'm assuming motor is drawing it down. I had the solenoids installed with the lugs on the bottom, which according to the installation sheet is wrong. I flipped them and cleaned all the wiring. Checked breaker and battery voltage/connection, all OK. I'm thinking all I have left is the motor. Here's the question: How do I remove the motor? Do I have to take the whole windlass off? I don't see any mounting bolts from the bottom, so I assume you have to remove something from the top. Anyone done this? I would ask Good, but I'm guessing they want you to send it back to be rebuilt by them.
