Took the boat out this weekend and anchored over at a local beach. Windlass worked fine to drop anchor. As we were going to leave, attempted to pull the anchor up with the windlass, with no luck! I can hear a clicking noise when the button is pushed at the helm. The breaker under my helm seat is not tripped. I am heading down there with my voltmeter at some point this week. Anything I should be looking for??

We ran into the same thing and it wasn’t the low voltage breaker that tripped, it was the high voltage breaker in the stern, near the transom door. Don’t know if you have the same issue, but it solved our similar issue.

Windlass breaker by the battery switches is most likely the culprit.
