Disassembly, inspection, and correct reassembly
Full winch service: strip, clean, inspect pawls, springs, bearings, and races; replace worn parts; regrease to manufacturer practice. Lewmar, Harken, Andersen.
Who it is for
Boats that winch hard on the Bay — racing programs on a maintenance calendar and cruisers who want reliability without drama.
Typical scope
Bench service in our shop or coordinated onboard work. Parts replaced when deformed, corroded, or fatigued — not just when they have already failed.
What is included
Honest interval guidance for how you use the boat; Bay air and salt accelerate what looks fine from the deck.
When to contact us
When self-tailing slips, the drum feels rough, or it has been longer than you can remember since the last proper service.
