One of my winches is extrememly hard to turn. I have taken it apart and cleaned and lubricated but it still is very hard to turn. The other winch is the same type and probably the same age (I would guess about 20 yrs old) and works fine. It is Lewmar #7. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bruce

<font face='Comic Sans MS'><font size=2> Bruce – I’m not sure what the problem is other than “something is sticking” which is not helpful BUT…
Here is a page on the [url="http://www.pyacht.com/lewmar_winch_service.htm"] Lewmar Winch [/url] that might help you find a piece you have overlooked or may not be right where it wants to be.
Good Luck,
