Harken Pawl Oil Lubricant for Sails

Service Your Winches for Optimal Performance

Preseason Maintenance You should service your winches at least once during the preseason. However, twice a season is best if your boat lives in salt water. Servicing your winches regularly ensures that they function efficiently and reduce the risk of failure during critical moments.

Racing Conditions If you race your boat hard, maintaining your winches before every regatta is crucial. Regular service helps you avoid unforeseen issues and ensures peak performance when you need it most.

Cleaning and Flushing Keep your winches clean and operating smoothly by flushing them frequently with fresh water. Regular cleaning prevents the buildup of salt and other debris, which can cause corrosion and wear.

Inspection Regularly check the following components for signs of wear and corrosion: - Pawl: Ensure it moves freely and securely. - Spring: Test its strength and flexibility. - Bearings: Confirm they rotate smoothly and without noise. - Gears: Verify they mesh correctly and have no unusual wear. - Spindles: Inspect them for signs of damage or wear.
