Lewmar Winch Manuals and Spares - older winches? Thread starter jviss Start date Aug 25, JavaScript is disabled. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. Status Not open for further replies. Feb 5, 4, Tartan Westport, MA. My winches are due for maintenance, and I am having difficulty finding service manuals, or even identifying the winches.

I'd like to definitively identify them, get the service manuals, and buy spares. I'm afraid this may be tough since there is no mention whatsoever of my winches on Lewmar's site that I can find. I have a Catalina 36 with the following: Primaries; 2-speed self tailing 48 - with socket head cap screws holding black top caps, and with chrome strippers. I'd also like to know if any of my parts, with old part numbers, cross to newer part numbers for the same part - like the pawls and pawl springs.

Stu Jackson. I personally don't know if they make different pawls for different winches or even if they have different "kits" for different winches.

Back then I didn't even think to ask, and the "kit" still works for me. There's not much more inside the winches than you'll find in any generic reference book, like Calder's.

I can get springs and pawls at local chandleries individually and in kits. The same ones fitted my 6, 16 and 42 winches. You might take a look through this database on Pyachts. My winches are Lewmars from the early 80's. DO NOT use polishes or abrasives. Stainless Steel Winches — wash drum regularly with fresh water and dry with a cloth. Servicing Winches All components should be removed and cleaned in a paraffin bath during the course of servicing.

If you do not have access to a paraffin bath, use half of an old plastic container with an old toothbrush. Even a cotton cloth soaked in paraffin or white spirit will suffice. Caution Some Lewmar winches contain plastic components which may be damaged by inappropriate cleaning agents. Always check the manufacturers directions before using any cleaning agents. Greasing Never use grease to lubricate your pawls, as this can lead to pawls sticking in their pockets and disabling the winch.

Instead, lubricate with a light engine oil. Use only a light smear of winch grease when lubricating ratchet tracks, gear teeth and bearings. Otherwise excess grease will be forced out and collect in potentially dangerous areas, such as pawl pockets.

Ratchet Gears — Pawl Engagement When assembling ratchet gears, check pawl engagement as shown below. Incorrect assembly will lead to back winding of the winch. This is very dangerous, so extreme care should be taken. Assembly Winches must be re-assembled in the reverse sequence to the order of dismantling.

After re-assembly, immediately check the winch functions correctly.
