Halyard winch is held together not by the single top mounted flat-head screw, but by a C-clip that the screw and cap cover. Five nuts inside the cabin hold the winch in place.

To service the winch:

• Remove the top screw and cap.
• Carefully place a length of duct tape on the C-clip to prevent it from flying away.
• Gently pry the C-clip off with a small flat head screw driver.
• Slide winch elements off shaft together- careful not to lose an internal washer.
• Apply grease to all wearable parts, washers, and bottom teflon bearing plates.

Rear winches are held together by a single top flat-head screw.

Port side winch is held to the mount by 4 flat head counter-sunk screws.

Starboard side winch is held to the mount by 1 counter sunk flat head screws and 3 counter sunk socket head cap screws (Allen wrench screws).

To service the rear winches:

• Carefully remove the top screw.
• Slide all elements of the winch off the shaft and bring together inside the cockpit.
• Once safe, separate the elements and apply grease to all wearable parts, washers, and bottom teflon bearing plates.
• Check that shaft mounting screws are properly tightened.
