Winch Maintenance

This weekend we took some time to clean and lube our Lewmar winches. It was a bit intimidating because it was our first time. We read that it can be a bit tricky reassembling the winch, but in the end it wasn't too bad - actually kind of fun. We managed to complete four of them, 2 44s and 2 50s. We will complete the two 30s on the mast next. Bring it on!
This one definitely needs some cleaning.
Cleaned and ready to be reassembled.
