[Rhodes22-list] Motor Lift Wiring Question

[James Nichols]

Most likely it is an overload relay.  But if you could provide a picture we
could be sure.

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Motor Lift Wiring Question

Hello fellow Rhodies - hoping one of the brilliant electricians can answer a
question.

I have a rocker switch mounted in the cockpit that operates the motor lift.
Well it used to operate the lift but now does nothing. 

I tested the winch by jumping direct from a battery to confirm the winch is
working. I removed the switch, disassembled and saw evidence of some minor
arcing so I ordered a replacement. BUT, the wire running from the positive
post in the lazarette has a block of some type attached to the terminal.
It's about one inch square with a rusted metal cover.  Does anyone know what
this gizmo is? A relay or fuse?

Based on its condition, I'm thinking I should probably replace it while I'm
changing out the switch.  Any ideas what it is and what I need to order?

Thank you!
