All,
Finally got the drum off the winch with lots of PB Blaster, force, heat, and
finally, my gear/prop puller.
There is a lot of corrosion inside the aluminum drum where the bearing rides
(went too light on the grease?). Should I use
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...
