Scoma 1 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Hi I am about to do some overdue maintenance on my winches (Barient 24) Any suggestions where i could buy the necessary pawls and spring? Is it possible to use Lewmar pawls and springs? Any help greatly appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raz88 96 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Not sure about whether the lewmar parts will work, but barient parts are now sold by Arco winches in Sydney. They'll happily sell to nz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 732 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 it's the size of the pawls + springs that matters more than who makes them fortunately most seem somewhat standardised into big + littel so take in whatever you find and compare it with whatever is being sold it's a very simple mechanical process and fine tolerances are not needed most owners over-grease winches in the hope that that will enable under-servicing doesn't really work like that as over greased winches become gummed up when the excess dries out soaking gummed bits in kero or diesel and tackling with a toothbrush works well on reassemble you're normally looking at a white lithium grease on the winch spindle and gear teeth but machine oil on the pawl + pivot good videos on youtube by makers like lewmar etc https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=marine+winch+servicing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ed 143 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 The stuff out of the lewmar winch grade pack looks and feels remarkably like bog standard ep2 Grease. A bit of 3 in one oil for the pawls as Eric suggests and you'll be fine. Servicing winches 6 monthly or yearly is easy. Every 5 years takes a lot longer! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
