i have a Trac 25 fisherman electric anchor that is running on its own, only in the up direction. i hear a click,then a clunk coming from the anchor mechanism.the boat has set outside uncovered for the last three weeks,very little rain.just noticed this about a week ago. the anchor was pulled up tight and had to remove the davit (after disconnecting the battery) to get the rope loose.(the battery had been connected the whole time).
when i reconnected the battery,the anchor ran in the up direction without pressing a button.would not run in down direction.

note:i installed a remote control on this anchor about two months ago.

the front anchor without a remote, still operates fine.

any ideas?
thanks
 
I had that happen with a trolling motor (old minnkota), rained all night, my boat was at the dock. I went down the next morning and the motor was
running slowly with the switch off. Just got wet and shorted out, eventually I had to replace the switch.
