Caution
Winches require relatively little maintenance but, being built out of
components of different metals like steel, aluminium and bronze,
they are subject to galvanic corrosion in the presence of salt and
moisture. This is particularly true where stainless steel bolts are in
direct contact with aluminium plates in the presence of salt crystals.
Winch components are also covered with a light protective oil or
grease film that, through use and lack of maintenance, can become
polluted with impurities and salt crystals. This will not only reduce
lubrication, but actually can cause the blocking of the winch and
damage its internal components.
• Regular maintenance will eliminate these problems.
• Follow the manufacturers instructions and maintenance schedule.
Maintenance
• Wash periodically with fresh water, especially after sailing in
rough weather.
• Clean and lubricate once a month the main bearings
• The inner bearings and gears should be checked and lubricated by
a qualified technician at least once during the season.
Refer to the Owner’s manual supplied by the Manufacturer.
