6.3 - Troubleshooting
If the windlass stops and the hydraulic magnetic (or thermal magnetic) switch has not tripped, wait a few seconds and try again
(avoid keeping the button pressed). *ref. page 10
If the hydraulic magnetic switch, has tripped, reset it and wait a few minutes before weighing anchor once again.
If, after a number of attempts, the windlass is still blocked, we suggest to move the boat to release the anchor.
