I think a lot depends on a salt water or fresh water environment. We
are in fresh water. I cleaned and lubed my primaries (Barlow 26) on
Corsair (1970 Redwing 35) after about 30 years of service. The aft
winches were a little dry, the forwards were just fine. Our new boat
will get winches done this spring (Barient 18, 22 and 27), . One of the
cabin top winches is toast, the rest seem to be servicable.

I am with Dwight on this. Maybe 15 years is a bit of a stretch, but I
did my winches last spring and I bet this was their first time in 24
years, maybe second. They still were working fine (before cleaning and
greasing). My winches are Lewmar.
I don’t believe that the winches run in such a demanding environment.
I am not saying that we should not do the maintenance, but I think
that we have a few systems on our boats that require more love and
care more regularly.
Did anyone notice any deterioration in performance or grease condition
after 6-12 months of use?

You guys seem to have lube problems with you winches that i have not
experienced. My winches have been cleaned and lubed only once in 15
years and they work and sound just fine. Last time about 5 years ago I
used Harken white winch grease and Harken winch pawl oil. Still worin
smooth and sounding good. Maybe i am just lucky all Barient winches

A calcium based greases are among the more water resistant offerings.
At low speed and medium pressure calcium sulphonate is a good choice.
I contacted Shell and one of their product specialists called me
back. After
a discussion of the properties of marine winches she recommended
looking
at the Shell SRS 2000 line ( now renamed Gadus I think ). I got
the Extreme
version which is calcium suphonate based, $12 for a standard sized
grease
gun tube. I would expect it to be a lifetime supply.
After two years the grease is holding up better than anything I
have previously
tried, which includes the Lewmar/Harken greases. Previously I
would rebuild the
primary winches every year and have a mid season tear down to
check and maybe
add some grease. I took the winches apart after a season and it
looked good, better
than they usually would look mid season.
There is information on the web if you are interested. Note it is
a specific version.

I?m performing maintenance on my Barient 18 winches and was
wondering if there was a preferred machine oil and grease? The
Lewmar grease seems expensive and I?d have to order it.?
Chris?
