Maxwell 25's and since Maxwell no longer makes jib sheet winches, does anyone have a supply house that sells bearings for these winches?
Or if there is no place to get bearings, what size replacement winches should I look at?

I was rebuilding my Maxwell winches once a year for three years, buying used ones for spare parts.Would still lock up occassionaly under high loads.
Best thing I did was replace all four with new Lewmars when there was a two for one sale last winter with winch handles thrown in. Much easier to haul now and easier to lube and no more fuss!!!!
