I am having a problem with A Barient 10P winch. I have had this
same problem before on another boat. The drum shows a great reluctance
to turn on the center spindle. I have taken the winch appart, cleaned
it and greased it. The problem is somewhat dimminished but still
persists. On the other boat that I had, the problem disappeared
after awhile.
Barient had nothing to offer other than clean and grease.
Any thoughts?

I THINK I HAD THOSE AT ONE TIME. IF THOSE ARE THE ONES WITH THE
SPINDLES MADE OUT OF SOME SORT OF BLACK PLASTIC MATERIAL, I HAD
THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LUBRIPLATE WOULD JUST BIND UP THE WINCHES
AFTER AWHILE. I SOULD UP TAKING EMORY PAPER TO THE SPINDLE AND
THE INSIDE OF THE DRUM (AFTER I CLEANED OUT ALL OF THE OLD GREASE)
AND THEN I LUBRICATED WITH GRAPHITE. OF COURSE THE PAWLS STILL
NEEDED GREASE, BUT I NO LONGER HAD BINDING PROBLEMS AFTER THAT.
ONE NOTE OF CAUTION, I COVERED THE WINCHES WHEN NOT IN USE, AND
IF I EVER GOT POOPED OR THE WINCHES WERE REALLY DRENCHED, I
HAD TO DISASSEMBLE, DRY THEM OFF, AND RE GRAPHITE. CAN I INTEREST
YOU IN SOME LEWMARS?
