Yesterday, I greased the winches on "Yee Ha!. I bought a Lewmar winch maintenance kit with some grease, oil, a brush, and an instruction book. According to the book, my number 7 winch should have had a set of bearings inside. But my winch has no bearings at all. There's just a post that the winch sits on. Is that the way the original winches are constructed? My boat is an '83.

Thanks,
Bruce

That's the way mine are, just a plastic base/post, ratchet dogs and the chromed winch drum. Maybe the newer ones have bearings.

Hi Bruce,

Here's the website for Lewmar's page that shows the exploded views of the 6, 7, & 8. You'll see that these three winches are pretty similar in many respects.

One of the main differences between the 7 and the 8 is that there is a bearing race in the 8. So, Lewmar may have used the same instructions for both.
