My Tiara 3100 has the factory original Maxwell Freedom 500 windlass. The solenoid hasn't worked well for the past year and finally died. Per Maxwell this model solenoid/windlass is obsolete and the solenoid is no longer available.  Considering the age of the unit and what would be involved in retrofitting another solenoid to this unit, I am now considering replacing the entire windlass. So I have 2 questions. #1 does anyone know where to source a replacement solenoid? #2 If I go for total replacement which make/model windlass would be closest to factory original. I don't like cutting/patching any unnecessary holes in my deck so I need something with a foot print as close to the Freedom 500 as possible. Thanks in advance for any information or advice.
