Simpson Lawrence Anchorman windlass motor

[Velorosa]

2000 Hunter 380
Was having occasional teipping issues woth the windlass breaker, then completely non responsive. Investigation yielded no prob with breaker, foot switches or controller Traced to motor. Took off and apart and it looked like a trailer park after a tornado.
Simpson Lawrence windlasses are obsolete. Someone helped me ID it as the Anchorman

version. The recc replacements are for the sprints and the pro series and the part that goes into the gear box is very Different. I think I have to take the remains to a motor machine shop-but would welcome opinions. I anchor a lot. I can still haul up100’of chain and a 25# anchor at 59, but I would prefer not to. I have emailed SLspares in UK to see if they have a motor or an idea. Right now I’m thinking this is a machine shop job or a new windlass which I cannot swing right now. Thanks

If UK Spares doesn't have a replacement motor, I think you are SOL. Looking at that motor, I don't think it is rebuildable. I could be wrong, its worth an ask.

Bad news. I am pretty sure that a machine shop can't help with that particular motor. Best bet would be to attempt to source a matching motor .. Simpson Lawrence did not make that motor, they sourced it from somewhere. The trick is to find who they sourced it from. The 1.2 KW power rating is a start.. Measure outer diameter and length of the case and go on a hunt. It looks kinda like an automobile starter motor and may have been sourced from the UK based on their manufacturing location. I hope you can find a fit! Good luck.

Perhaps you can find a used one on EBay or nautical consignment shop.
