By any chance, is this windlass mounted on a steel boat? If so, this could be a galvanic corrosion issue.

There are two likely sources; the first being the chain which is undoubtedly a dissimilar metal and possibly the material from which the deck is made and to which the windlass is mounted. We have heard of deployed anchor chains acting as electrodes and clearly, a deck made of steel will cause the less noble metal, the aluminum-housed windlass in your case, to act as an anode just like the one on your prop. All you need to cause the galvanic action is a regular splash of saltwater.

If your boat is not metallic, you still have severe corrosion issues.

As far as helping you correct the problem, we are able to get 100% of the replacement parts for your for your Quick Windlass. Given that you state that the motor has fallen off, I suspect that you may need to replace more than just the mounting bracket.

Go2marine has the replacement motor for your application, and you should already have a duel function solenoid.

The P10068 Windlass Replacement Motor is a commom motor that fits many Maxwell 500 series windlasses. They are still available and in stock. The price is 199.50$ (8/3/11).
