barient winches pawls/springs
Thanks Christian, for the info! I am inclined too agree with you; the winches seem to operate well, but just in case, what would be your choice for pawls, if I do need them. I have followed your many posts and they have always been very helpful!!!! I forgot to mention in the post, that I plan on using Miracle Mystery oil for the pawls and any other parts that one should use oil, and not grease, on. Your thoughts? Also, while I have your attention, what do you think about using a boom kicker on my E34, and is Selden better than Boomkicker???? Thanks so much for your time. I use the boat for cruising exclusively, and then only a day or so sail. My primary reason for considering one is that I often sail short handed, single handed, or with those who don't know much about sailing, so raising/lowering the main, and putting reefs in I am hoping will be easier and safer. BTW my Genoa winches are the 27STs, your post in repairing these is appreciated
