I recently saw a request from a MacGregor 21 owner regarding the inner bearing (material) for his Enkes AR6 winch. I have a Mac 25 and I have a similar problem and need this material which is actually more like a bushing. I contacted the distributor in Canada and they replied that they could not help me. How do I get or replace this inner bearing? (Note: I have the original bearing which is worn out and the bottom washer which is servicable yet. Both are a fiber or phenolic type material)

Star Bright or HDPE

I remember the post. The poster (sic) made his bearing out of HDPE from a cheap kitchen cutting board he bought at Wal Mart. You might have luck taking the part (s) to a good old hardware store where a bushing or bearing might be found or just make one out of material you can find at the hardware store. Good luck and post your results so others might benefit Steve P.

The FLEXIBLE cutting board (3 for $3 at Walmart) Has made a perfect replacement - maybe better than the original. If you can't find it, contact me and I will send you some.
