Hi everyone - Just purchased a 2012 H400.  Main halyard electric winch not working- I've traced the problem to the controller - which is an albright contactor model SW80-324 12V.  Can't find this model contactor anywhere online.  I've reached out to the manufacturer but haven't received a response yet.   Wondering if there's a suitable substitute and if anyone out there has done this.  Thanks in advance.

If you are struggling, there must be something similar available in US for electric winches used by 4x4 the boys. They have 12V reversible winch motors. Cheers.

Hi 
My lewmar electric winches are one way, not reversible.
Reversible is for anchor windlass.
But I agree that a 12v DC Solonoid 100A should work
It need to be Full Duty capable.
Should also follow the specs:

Sorry my apologies, had windlass in my head.

Even easier, if you're struggling, car starter motor relay for local auto parts store?

Cheers.

 Hello
Google “Lewmar contactors P2 marine” for supplies in USA = P2 marine 
For type Lewmar Ocean 40-44-46-48 and Type EVO 40-45 and 50  12V  one direction it is the E type 
Lewmar parts number 68000933 125,- $ in a waterproof box = 18000301 293,-$
The bigger 12V 50-54-55-58-60- 65 types they use the ELS contactors .
Hope you can find it.
