IMPORTANT NOTE TO BOAT BUILDERS
After completing installation we suggest that you spray the top works of the winch with
CRC3097 “Long Life”.
Also protect the winch by wrapping with plastic film and tape.
Experience has shown that on long ocean deliveries as deck cargo sulphur from the
ship’s exhausts settles and severely damages the chrome plating and stainless steel by
breaking down the chrome oxide protective film.
