Wander the piers during the summer. When you see a boat with grease oozing out of a winch, ask the owner what he used. Don't buy it.
For the record, when I had my marine repair business, I maintained a lot of winches. I cleaned them with Simple Green or, if really dry and stiff, mineral spirits followed by Simple Green. I lubed them with Lewmar grease and oil. Never had any complaints. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
