[Rhodes22-list] A little advise please !

[Wally Buck]

Dave,

I know many that have used Oxi-Clean on sails. They claim it works great. I 
don't know if it would remove rust. I have heard that it does a great job 
with mildew. I have never used the product myself.

As others have pointed out the Barient manual is on the Rhodes FAQ site. If 
you are lucky it might just need a good cleaning. Be careful taking the 
winch apart. Try cutting a hole in shoe box and placing the box over the 
winch. The box will help catch any stray parts. I took mine apart a while 
back and cleaning helped loosen things up.

If you search the archives there is a company in Australia that sells parts. 
I haven't tried them but they appear to be the only source.

Good lucll

Wally, Knoxville TN
