I cleaned up the gears with turpentine and lubricated them with white marine
grease. The gear pawls and springs were lightly oiled with sewing
machine oil.
I had
FAR-MAC PLATING in Melbourne Florida
do the chroming.
It took them about four weeks and they did and excellent job .
I made the backing plate out of 1/8” aluminum and drilled oversize mounting holes. I used a liberal coat of Marine Silicon to seal the bottom of the winch to the teak. Pictures below show a finished drum and completely reassembled winch on the port side of
Mikhaya.
