If you have a problem with your swing keel winch, you gotta call Catalina Yachts and order a new one pronto. The winches they sell are made to lower that 1500 pound piece of metal slowly, as it even has brake liners inside!

One thing you don't want to do is lose the cable due to a faulty winch!

When you replace it, be sure to keep the old bolts, because, depending on the age of your boat the holes and bolts will probably not match up.
