Has anyone else had trouble with their Quick brand, Antares model windlass?
My windlass quit and I have been troubleshooting it recently. Electrical diagrams with my boat are not as detailed as I'd like. Does anyone know what the windlass circuit breaker and/or fuse looks like and where it is located. I have a rocker switch near my battery switches, but I can't identify the circuit breaker between there and the windlass solenoid.
Quick technical support identifies mine as the Antares model, 1000 watt, 12 volts. It has been discontinued. If I have to replace the Antares, Quick says the Aleph model fits the same basic footprint with little modification.
Quick has no authorized service centers in the U.S., they tell me. The local boatyards I've contacted say they've never even heard of Quick windlasses. I would consider replacing it with a different brand/model. If I replace, the simplest install would be a real plus for me (i.e., similar footprints). Any suggestions?
