    Winch polish/cleaning

    Simple maintenance question: what product do you use to clean salt pitting/marks on barient winches? I've tried a metal polish to no avail.

    Pontos winches

    Does anyone have any experience with the 4 speed winches made by Pontos? I have watched the videos and the "grinder" looks interesting. My Barient winches are going strong but must wear out eventually.

    Barient 2 speed 21ST issues?

    One of my concerns noted in my survey was play in the drums of the genny winches. I could grab the drum and rock it on the the shaft. The same for both winches. They (as with the rest of the winches) are pretty gummed up so it is hard to tell how this would affect their performance. Deducting...

    Barient/Barlow power ratios

    http://www.bitwrangler.com/wt/winches.shtml I was looking around the web for a way to compare these with today's winch nomenclature. Nowadays winches are spec'd out with the final power ratio, with a 10" handle. (Or at least that's what the ads say and they never mention friction loses.) I saved...

    Barient 27st winches wanted

    My drums are shot so I am looking for replacement winches that still have good drums. The outsides are fine but the anodizing on the inside where the bearings ride has worn down. Maybe I can sell the old ones as bobble head winches!

    Barient winch parts

    While out sailing here in the desert of Eastern Washington on the Snake River today one of my winches decided to self destruct. We were beating to wind and just finished tightening up the jib, pulled off the winch handle, and the top plate of the winch decided to go for a swim. Gone...

    removing drum nut on Barient 32ST primary winch?

    I hate to admit that I haven't serviced my primary winches in the 4 years that I've owned the boat! I know I'm way overdue. The first step is to remove the drum nut, and I can't loosen either one of them! I've removed this same part with no problem on other winches, but these won't budge...

    I'm having trouble finding parts for a barient 27 winch. Any leads on where I might find new or used replacement parts? I've tried the folks "down under" and they have not responded. Perhaps they are no longer in business? Any suggestions? Thanks, Sam
