My Maxwell winches have started to skip, I have broken them down, clean and lub them but they still skip. I notice that the clutches show signs of wear. I dressed them with a small file and stretch their springs. Still skips. I tried for a week on the internet to find replacement parts but no luck. Maxwell Inc said, They no longer stock parts for these winches.

Time to replace

Had the same problem with the halyard winch on my boat. Decided to replace the bad winch with Harken. I don't think there is much else to do unless you can find a suitable used winch.

Patrick re Maxwell winches

If you replace your Maxwell 23 STA and 2 spd Maxwell 20, let me know if you'd like to unload them as spare parts.
