Line Handling Gear
Flush the mainsheet gear and travelers with fresh water weekly. The winches require
regular maintenance at quarterly intervals or they will become difficult to use and may
corrode.
• Strip the winch and degrease it with a mild degreasing agent. (Available
from any auto supply store).
• Re-grease the bearings with a small amount of Teflon-based marine gel
lubricant. Do not over grease; the spaces in bearing race should be full of
grease, but non- bearing areas should be clean.
• Make sure that the grease is fully worked into the bearing surfaces. Remove
any excess grease after working in.
The clutches and line organizers do not require service as such, but should be kept
clean. In salt water, hose them down with fresh water weekly.
Approximately quarterly, clean and lightly grease the sheave and cam bearings with a
Teflon-based marine gel lubricant. Make sure the gel is fully worked into the working
parts. Remove any excess.
