Winch servicing
Posted: Mon Apr 26, 2021 11:22 pm
So my winches were “ok” when I got the boat, one sounded and felt better than the other. But within 3 months they have both seized up and become tough to use.
Tonight I stripped them down and degreased and taken all the parts back to raw in prep of oil and grease for the rebuild.
Already reassembly has proven they are within working order and even without the lubricants the parts are giving me a good click be snap as they rotate and snap into position.
How often do people service their winches?
