Spinlock Repairs

[Cameron]

I have factory mounted Spinlocks on my Oceanis 300. Unfortunately age and use has lead to the demise of two of the levers handles. The problem in replacing these levers lies in the fact that the Spinlocks are glued to the cabin roof and cannot be disassembled. Is there a way to fix these without demolishing the Spinlock?Thanks

You can get replacement parts for spin locks. I recently called the company and recieved replacement handles and side plates. There is a five year warranty on the product.You do have to remove the old spinlock from the boat. You must use a nail setter or some similar tool with a hammer and much pounding to remove the hinge pin. Un screw the four bolts and nuts, save the parts. Replace broken parts and reasemble. Lots of luck, Steven
