Which one of these fuses is for the anchor cayman winch they both seem really heavy duty and how can you tell  if they have tripped

NH fuses are available with a red indicator dot that pops off when they melt. Yours do not have it, so you can tell they triggered when the boat is dark or the windlass not working :))

It should be easy enough to follow the cables to see which does what - on ours the 100A is for the windlass, 125A for house bank. Get a white marker pen or some labels and start marking the cables - it'll be helpful later!

Pull them out one at a time and put a continuity meter across them.

On our B392006 it's the fuse on the right- don't ask how I know!

the both fuses are fine the anchor dropped ok then retrived ok till it hit home then it stopped and never worked again

Try moving the windlass manually with the handle.  It worked for me. I suspect the motor had stopped on a dirty patch on the commutator. and th nudge moved it sufficiently.
