[Rhodes22-list] Winches

[KUHN, LELAND]

Rick,

WHEN?
1. TWO OR THREE TIMES DURING ACTIVE
SAILING SEASON: Lewmar winches should be
stripped, cleaned and re-lubricated.
2. AT THE END OF EACH SAILING SEASON AND
BEFORE STARTING THE NEW SAILING
SEASON: All Lewmar winches should be
completely stripped, cleaned, thoroughly checked
for damage and lubricated with reference to the
information provided in the Lewmar Volume 10
Service Manual.

Wow!  Had Mike not sent this out, I probably would have waited 15 years
too.

Thanks!

Proper winch maintenance makes the winch perform almost like new.  It is

amazing how much a bit of grease and a thorough cleaning make the
ratchet 
pawls work again.  Check out the attached pdf of the winch manual (see 
below.)
