Windless don't work.

What make & model windlass is it?
Is the battery supplying power turned on?
Is the windlass battery in good condition?
Are all the breakers and/or fuses good?
Are you getting power to the windlass?
Is there rust coming out of the windlass motor?

We’ve had 2 Lewmar Pro 1000 windlasses on our 2 FM boats for over a decade now and never had an issue with them. We use the windlass maybe 20-30 times a year. I spend an hour or two doing PM on the windlass each year and replace worn parts as needed.

2014 ranger 27 is there a separate battery for windless motor

In the old days there was a house battery bank, engine battery and combo thruster+windlass battery.
Sometime between 2009 and 2017, they moved the windlass power to the house battery bank. That gave the thrusters a dedicated battery.
Sorry, don’t know the exact year they made that change. But if the red rotary switches are on for both house and thruster batteries you “should” be getting power to the windlass regardless of the battery configuration.

Had similar issue, and found the breaker below throttle and Engine cabin heater control was tripped. Reset to correct. Worst part we had already Armstronged about 75 feet of chain prior to finding breaker.
