Marina and Michel perform maintenance on their sailboat's self-tailing winches, which had become stiff after years of neglect.0:36 The process involves unscrewing the top assembly, removing the internal bearings and spacers, and cleaning the old, hardened grease from the gears and pawls using a toothbrush and thinner.3:42 Michel notes that the pawls are critical for preventing the winch from spinning in both directions; if they fail to engage the teeth, the winch loses its locking function.3:50 After degreasing, he applies a light coat of WD-40 for protection, followed by a marine-grade blue grease for lubrication.4:41 For smaller winches lacking top screws, the pair demonstrates a removal technique using a block of wood to tap the self-tailing head until it unscrews.9:00 Finally, Marina installs custom fabric covers over the winches to protect them from sun exposure and extend their service life.8:29 The maintenance restores smooth operation to the winches, significantly easing the effort required to handle lines while sailing.7:11
