Lewmar Emsworth bottom action winches.

So the lock down is finished for the time being and I’m back working on the boat.

Before I post what I’m up to now I thought I would post some of the things I did during lock-down.

One of the jobs was to strip down the two Lewmar Emsworth sheet winches, they were in a terrible state but still working well. 

Each winch has three Pauls and one of the six springs was broken.
Had to re-manufacture it as the modern Lewmar company has no spares for the older winches.
As usual had intended to take photos of the whole strip and rebuild of these bottom acting winches but forgot to take photos of the rebuild so here is the strip.
