A small terry hand towel laid on deck is great to hold dirty parts and keep them from sliding around. Another trick is to cut a hole in a shallow cardboard box ( w 4" high sides) so it can be placed over the winch, to catch parts. I find cardboard boxes for projects like this really save the deck too. On windy days, you have to take other precautions though.
Mineral spirits or diesel fuel or Kerosene are good solvents for cleaning the grease from winches. Stu's website has the entire Barient Catologue as well as cleanng procedures, and the detailed drawings that help a great deal. All downloadable. I find after a good cleaning, and drying, oil the pawls and springs w 3 in 1 Oil and grease the gears using a small acid brush, sparingly according to instructions. Next year, you can probably skip the heavy cleaning, just oil the pawls, and add a little grease using the acid brush. I keep a tube of grease, a bottle of 3 in 1 oil, small acid brushes and maybe a plastic scraper in a ziplock sandwich bag, marked w sharpie, WINCHES, w my spare parts.

The only tricky bit is in not losing the pawls or springs. A cloth fastened between the toe rail and lifeline may help. ----- Original Message ----- From: mike amirault via CnC-List To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2015 09:34 Subject: Stus-List Barient winches.
