There is no grease in this winch.
We greased the starboard Barient 28 Winch !
Yes finally we made the time do start the winch greasing.
Debbie took a cardboard box and made a catch all for the Barient winch.
It would be nice t have a spanner wrench to take off the top nut. We put a drift pin tool in one of the holes and pounded it around with a glass hammer. It was a bit hard o get off.
We have had our Islander Freeport for five years and who knows how long sing the original owner had these winch's grassed? They were hard to turn, took two hands.
This plat had to be removed. It was dry, no grease so it was a bit of a bear to get off. Had to be careful not to break it, at least I think it might break, maybe not?
Lots of stuff, gears bearing etc, lots of cleaning, lots of backed on grease.
Debbie said she was going up to see our friend Antoinette about some IMSS issues we had. She would take the computer. She asked me if I needed to schematic for the winch which was on the PC but I did not hear that part. I went to put the wench back together and could not figure out a couple gears. It had to wait till the next day 😕
We also moved the tailor to the stern instead f facing inside towards the center of the boat.
Used the winch handle for testing and putting the winch back into the deck plate.
Now for the other one, geeesh!
