It seems my aluminum halyard winch at the base of the mast regularly (yearly) needs to be re-greased much more so than the other S/S winches. Is it me? Location of winch? Material?

I usually use the Harken on port winches and the Lewmar on starboard winches. Or is it the other way around?Seriously, they're both good. I think it's more important to not over-apply the grease than which grease you use. More is not necessarily better when greasing winches. Excess grease may collect in pawl pockets or run out on the deck.I think I prefer the Lewmar simply because it's a lighter color. In the Deep South, I worry more about the grease getting hot in the sun and running out of the winches. Niether the Harken or Lewmar seems to do that. But should it run, I'd rather the lighter color on the gelcoat.Dennis C.Touche' 35-1 #83Mandeville, LA From: Chuck S <cscheaf...@comcast.net> To: cnc-list CNC boat owners <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2014 9:19 PM Subject: Stus-List Winch grease, Harken or Lewmar?
