created with either a faring pad (you may have to make it out of wood or fiberglass) that conforms to the mast shape or a bracket which spans it. A bracket can be fastened using pop rivets, machine screws, or Rivnuts. Pop rivets will not work if you are using a faring pad so use flat head machine screws or Rivnuts. Remounting: If you are remounting,
this is a good moment to clean and re- grease your winches. Use mineral oil to clean the gears and bearings, and consult the manufacturer’s information for the appropriate grease. Usually there will be a branded product available. Routine Maintenance: Inspect often
around your winches for cracks or other signs of deterioration, paying attention to any bending or deformation of any brackets. Clean, inspect, and grease your winches at the beginning of the each season. One last thought: you may not want to upgrade your winches based on cost, but you might consider upgrading your winch handles as there are many new and improved designs now available.
Figure 4: Harken has done something unique. You snap off the plastic skirt, drill the mounting holes, insert hex bolts, snap on the skirt, apply sealant, slip bolts thru holes in deck, mount bolts and tighten. A one person job.
