RE: [Cal_Boats] Re: Cal 33 Barent winches

Many thanks. I'd been looking through my old references for this site. For those with the small winches with no rollers, I had a pair of those (forget which vendor) on my deck. Started to seize up very soon after purchase. I put in a bit of grease. They seized up again. When I finally sent them back, I received new replacement winches with roller bearings inside. Company was out of business not too long thereafter. Apparently, the lubrication made the sleeves swell, causing the seizing.
