LEWMAR Aboard Next Week *5

[Rick D]

Beginning next week, Ben Givens, SW Sales Manager for Lewmar will join our Guest Expert Forum. Ben is a great one-design sailor and does his share of offshore work too. To submit a question or topic, see the link on the home page. Lewmar is a major recreational marine player with a wide range of products, so to help focus this, let's try to keep our eye on their sail handling products, ie: blocks, travellers, shackles, winches, etc. Enjoy.

Winch servicing

It's time I did some service on my winches and would like some tips on doing this. I've been procrastinating for too long.John Richards/v Jack's Place

Hey, John Richard

Gotta post this again in the Guest Expert Forum. See the link on the home page. It goes to a different place than this publicity post I made.PS: I replaced the stripper and paw on one of my winches but it scares the &$&@% out of me to pull them apart for servicing. I've done it but don't like it. Springs going sprong and such. But, since the last three riggers I called to do them never returned my call, guess I'll follow your lead. Thanks for adding to my maintenance list.... Rick D.

John, you might want to edit

the link you provided. The one I pulled up from your post has a comma where there should be a period . (dot).
