Windlass relay/contactor
This is for a Regal 26 Express/26XO front anchor windlass. It took about an hour to swap out only because I needed to find a neighbor small enough to fit in my anchor locker in the bow. Once he got in there it took about 30 minutes to swap and test. This was the direct replacement with ZERO issues.

Questions
What is the amp rating?
I am using it on a 30 amp circuit with no problems.

My Lewmar OP2 electric winch stopped working. There is a click sound when operating button is pushed. Could it be a bad solenoid, bad switch, both, or something else?
Yes it could be the solenoid - but the clicking is the internals of it moving. In my case I had very similar symptoms. After replacing the solenoid with no change, further investigation resulting in finding I had water in my windlass motor. Replaced the motor an back in business.
