Does anyone know where the solenoid for the electric winch at the port helm station is located on the Hunter 49? Is there an in line fuse to that winch?
We have power to the switch but can't find the solenoid to check further. Thanks for any help.

I believe you will find them in the back of the boat. Access is through the two large hatches on the stern. I remember checking all of the lugs for tightness a few years ago. It helps to be small to fit inside, but I know it's possible because I have climbed inside many times. I'm 5-10 and 180lbs. You can access the underside of the winches and check for tightness of those lugs by opening the cockpit lockers, inverting yourself, and looking up.

Thanks George. I found it there shortly after posting the question. My problem is I'm 6'5" and 250 lbs and don't fit but thanks to your reply I know what size to look for.
