I recommend a quick clean up to remove any trace of the aluminum/SS oxide. I
used diesel as a solvent any bronze wool as the abrasive. I cleaned all
Calypso’s winch innards with diesel (it has a bit of lubricity along with the
solvent in case traces are left behind).
For grease I use the Lubr
Too much grease might actually contribute to winch problems - especially in
salt water environments. You have to make sure that at least the pawls are
clear excess of grease. I've had good experience with a finger-dab or two
on the drum, similar or less on the gears and some machine oil on the
paw
Joel: I had the same type of winch problem last year on my port jib sheet
winch. Once I got it apart I just thoroughly cleaned it, greased it up good,
and put it back together and its been working fine since. Sanding is probably
not necessary...
