Have you serviced your winches recently?

We regularly meet cruising sailors who have never serviced their winches. This can cause a serious accident if the winch is under strain and the winch handle is in place. If the pawls stick the winch can spin backwards and a break an arm or worse. Its is vitally important to service winches regularly... In this video we show the Lewmar winch. Taking it apart, servicing the bearings and pawls and reassembling. Pass this along to sailing friends if you think they might not be aware of this risk... #lewmar
