WINCHES
Avoid rope jamming during winch handling. Do not leave loose ropes on the winches but fasten them
on cleats.
Adjust the winches on receipt of your boat (rinse them regularly during the season). The winches should
rotate freely, they need overhaul as soon as it slightly seizes.
MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATION
Carry out the complete maintenance of the winches regularly
(before and during the sailing season).
- Remove the drums and clean them.
- Lubricate the drums with a film of white grease or Teflon to reduce the friction and fight against
corrosion (this type of grease is clean, non toxic and biodegradable).
WARNING
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions to remove the winches and put them back.
Improper refitting may result in accidents (e.g. kick of the crank handle).
