[@dp5475]

You two are a great team. I'm a mechanical engineer and can say you both definitely have the knack!

[@WildlyIntrepid]

Thank you very much for that. You are too kind. Cheers

[@ClivesfishingandAdventures2023]

well done , ive done them before but found your video great for refreshing my memory

[@WildlyIntrepid]

that's great to hear. Everything spinning smoothly now?

[@jeffreybrijohnson]

So smart to clean it before you greased it….thanks for the video. Great job.

[@WildlyIntrepid]

Cheers. Cleaning first is key to success. Enjoy your smooth winch now

Best explanation and demonstration on the net, your a legend mate, thank you so much, got mine done in no time at all after watching your fantastic demo, you should teach mate, love your work

[@WildlyIntrepid]

Thank you so much. You flatter me. I'm glad we could help.

[@SuperGemma2010]

Thank you for the help ,couldn't have done it so quick without you tutorial @@WildlyIntrepid

Good information about that thing. I believe it is the thing to hold ropes. I guess living in a salt water environment needs a little maintenance once in a while. Easy to follow good job guys😘⛵😍

[@WildlyIntrepid]

Thanks and everything on a boat needs a little maintenance after a while. Salt water is not a boat's friend.

I just looked it up those are called internal or external spiral keeper rings. Great video, I had taken mine off for the first time a couple of years ago. Made sure I did one at a time so I’d have one to look at to put them back together.

[@WildlyIntrepid]

Thanks for sharing Norman. There's a lot of parts and taking one apart at a time is a great idea. We also used the instructions pamphlet that came with them. Good thing the previous owners kept it.

Nice video. The reason for not greasing the pawls is because they don't work when it's cold out. Have fun and Happy Thanksgiving

[@WildlyIntrepid]

Thanks for the tip. Good to know.

Enkes winch is an exact copy.... But the base is aluminium so the centre shaft corroded. A difficult rebuild.

[@WildlyIntrepid]

I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the Intel.

[@DowneastThunderCreations]

👍👍👍

[@dboboc]

So this is supposed to be a how-to video and you’ve never done it before. Riiiight..

We share our learning experience with anyone interested and did mention it was our first time taking them apart. How many times would you recommend doing something as simple as this before you felt like it was ok to make a video about? If you feel like we missed something please let us know. If you are uncomfortable with learning from someone who is just figuring it out for themselves maybe KZbin is not the best place to look.
