When you stop your engine most of the cooling water drains out, leaving air and salt water in the interior. It's much better corrosion-wise to run fresh water through your engine before shutdown. You may be able to just turn on the hose without running the engine to get the benefit. Not sure.
Presumably you put it in the down position (gypsy latched) if you don't want the anchor to deploy, such as when you're under way. To operate the windlass to deploy the anchor you move the lever to the vertical position.
Your gypsy isn't tight enough and there may be some debris that is preventing the gypsy from fully seating onto the output shaft. I would remove the gypsy and clean the interfacing surfaces with a degreaser and scotchbrite pad, then regrease, reassemble, and tighten.
Someone here suggested replacing that plug with one that has a Allen fitting, which I bought. Looks way better than the original.

First thing I would do is check the turbo. Remove the air filter and see if the turbo vanes spin freely. If it doesn't spin freely, you need a new turbo or turbo rebuild.

If I were you I would get a bigger anchor and add more chain to your rode, like 50'. On our 10K lb Commander 30 we run 200' of 1/4 chain and another 150' of 1/2" rode, primarily for deep anchorages in BC and southern Alaska. We like the damping that all chain (effectively) provides.

I don't know this particular engine, but it could be a protective low oil pressure or high coolant temperature indication that's faulty that makes the engine run in limp mode, or whatever the term is for that engine. Usually the system has dedicated switches separate from the sensors that drive...
