01
Will not lift
Foot switch, then the solenoid, then the cable run, then the motor. In that order, because that is the order of cost.
Windlass and deck gear
The windlass that will not lift, the chain counter that lies, the gypsy that slips a link every turn. The one failure that ends a day at anchor and cannot be worked around.
Before we get there
Stop using it. A windlass that is drawing current but not turning is burning its motor, and the foot switch is usually the cheap part that failed. Buoy the chain and call.
What usually goes wrong
02
Chain slips on the gypsy
Wrong gypsy for the chain, or a worn one. We measure the chain before ordering anything; half the slipping we see is 8 mm chain on a 10 mm gypsy.
03
Bow roller and chain locker
Chain that castles in the locker jams the windlass from below. A taller locker or a shorter drop fixes it permanently; we make the part here.
04
Passerelle, davits and gates
Hydraulic rams, gas struts and the stainless that carries them. Made and welded at our own yard rather than ordered and waited on.

Other services
Six disciplines, one call
Engine and generator
Won't start, overheating, no charge, black smoke or a generator that trips under load. The four failures that end a charter, and the ones we carry parts for.

Marine electronics
Plotter, autopilot, radar, AIS, VHF and the NMEA 2000 backbone that ties them together. The part of the boat most yards on this coast will not touch.
View details
Electrics and batteries
Flat house bank by two in the morning, an inverter that trips, shore power that will not connect, or a lithium conversion done properly instead of dangerously.
View details
Rig and sails
A jammed furler in a rising meltemi, a halyard lost up the mast, a torn leech, or the rigging inspection your insurer asks for every ten years.
View details
Plumbing, cooling and air conditioning
Air conditioning that stops at anchor in August, a watermaker making nothing, a fridge that runs all night, and the head nobody wants to talk about.

Underwater and hull
A rope round the propeller in Bozukkale at seven in the evening. A diver in the water, the shaft cleared, and no lift out of the water.
