Lewmar winch relay/solenoid?

[zzr7ky]

2008 R-25 Mercruiser Diesel.
While I was nearby the boat, but no one aboard, batteries engaged, and attached to shore power...
The Lewmar Windlass started dropping chain. As the anchor was lashed in place the chan thrashed around a bit before I go aboard.
Holding the switch to the Down position stopped the motor.
Removed the Switch, Disconnecting all 3 wires...and the Windlass continues to try to drop!
A wiring schematic would be helpful!

Good luck with that! On the electrical schematic for my 2012 R27, inexplicably, the windless is completely omitted, like it doesn’t exist. I suspect the schematic for your 2008 boat omits it as well.

I have the relay on order.

Replacement Lewmar Relay is physically a bit smaller but has the same.part number. It did correct the issue.
