Stus-List Corrosion in winch drum

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 600 grit sandpaper to smooth it? Other suggestions? I'll be

Re: Stus-List Corrosion in winch drum

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... Bob Bob Boyer S/V Rainy Days / Annapolis MD 1

Stus-List Any hope for this battery?

In October when DG came out of the water, after winterizing I carelessly left the 12v power on - my cranking battery - a 1 year old Motomaster Marine AGM, group 24, 75 ah. When I came back a few weeks later it was flat. I took it out of the boat and brought it home. It would not take a charge. Over

Re: Stus-List Corrosion in winch drum

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

Re: Stus-List Corrosion in winch drum

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

Re: Stus-List New Wiring Diagram Draft

If you are primarily on a mooring (or more specifically disconnected from shore power) then you are fine. The galvanic isolators prevent galvanic currents from being conducted along the common ground wire of mutiple boats at a marina. Since the zincs are usually electically on the ground wire of

Re: Stus-List New Wiring Diagram Draft

Excellent summary, Josh. I recall the breakover voltage as .6 not .7, but the effect is the same. 1.2 or 1.4 volts of breakover from two diodes in series will stop the galvanic current. And for the frugal among us, and I think that covers most all sailors with boats under about 50 feet, th

Re: Stus-List New Wiring Diagram Draft (Now GIs and anodes)

Rick, I bought welding machine rectifier diodes from mouser. I don't remember the price. The wire and connectors and box cost more than the diodes. As an alternative to GIs you can just turn off all the DC loads and disconnect the shore power. Plug in periodically to charge if needed or get a
