1. As always explained in detail so that it is a perfect guide for servicing your equipment 👏👍

2. Last service was your 1st visit to Skerries

3. Love the cardboard box around the winch idea … will use that myself!
   Thank you.

4. Lucky I didn’t have a mouth full of tea when you said the fedex price. I would have choked. Sweet mother Mc Creedy that’s insane

5. I use a paraffin bath (bucket) and paintbrush/rags to de grease my winches, or I had to the first time. Regular attention means I can do the old grease removal with an oily rag. Diesel is similar solvent if you don't keep paraffin aboard. Our Lewmar winches are almost identical, this is a good informative video.

6. Having lost the feeder arm overboard on one of my winches I was still very nervous watching you dismantle your winch. My feeder arm 'flicked' off so your trick with the catch tray wouldn't have saved me. I'll be placing some kind of curtain around it next time, maybe a big bath towel pegged to the life line.

   I use three in one oil on the pawls and white grease on the bearings and gears. And you're absolutely right, you don't need a whole lot of grease.

7. Just beware, silicone cures by use of 'vinegar acid' that is a quite corrosive agent. Not a problem with what you are doing with the winches, just keep it in mind.
   And as we say in Norway, Smoke on the Water: Lyrics by Deep Purple, smoke by Volvo Penta 🙂

8. Argh my young apprentice, the force is strong in U. 🤣 next fiddly project, can u put camera closer to the job, makes it easier for ur viewing public to actually see what ur doing, also the audio was unclear and soft. Grab a can of white lithium grease, perfect for metal on metal applications. Nice seeing ur smiling faces. 🌈😉

9. Thank you! Really like the cereal box idea. I’ll use it when I do the winch cleaning. I had a good laugh/cry (kidding) about delivery costs. Here in 🇨🇦 and owning a Bavaria it’s criminal what the cost is to get parts from Europe and area. You learn to work around just like you are or cutting our own port lights, etc. I look forward to the mic update and have no doubt it will work 100%, with a little bit of patience. Cheers. 🇨🇦

10. So glad you posted early stuck in today and what a joy you bring. Don’t you like butyl tape? Very clear instructions as always, and no snow YET

11. very nice and informative

12. Outside of Teak and Mahogany, winches were the annual bane of my existence (Dutch father, youngest son… "You VILL clean!").
    I did get one tip from a world cruising family, way back when.
    If you're out of WD40 and can't get to the diesel, Dawn Dish Washing Liquid (the original blue), and water will cut through absolutely everything. The only problem is to rinse thoroughly and dry the pieces carefully, before coating with grease/oil.
    About the only time that I got away with letting things sit in a tub to soak for an hour, and catch up with summertime homework.
    Excellent video!! Thank you for sharing.

13. That looks very much like a 7 pin din plug? £3.15 at Farnells. If not, just replace the cable and hard-wire it in to the radio if you cant get the right din plug. No need for it to be removable at the chart table. Sail Safe Guys, Ant & Cid.

14. yes got part for my gen set from usa , part £48 freight £78 part 3in by 1.5 in 14oz . and still no gen working . out of EU boat kit up up up.and shegan to, makes you want to spit, i also have still in box stretch leads and its crumbled ,billt in obselecents . old telephone leads never did that. dont get me started on new breathable water proofs . KEEP SMILING

15. You have got the balance just right. Another vblog worth watching. Thank you.

16. I did the very same thing with a Raymarine Command Mic VHF where the cable insulation had broken down and there wasn't a replacement cable available for it, so I bought a new cable from a VHF electronics company for a few quid and got busy with the soldering iron. Worked perfectly after (until eventually the other handset gave up altogether but that's a different issue). Def worth the effort..

17. Simrad make a good radio. Have the same on Spirit.I was wondering why you would go to all that expense for a new Mike plug when it's easy to snip and solder. Make sure the wires are shielded when you fit them back together again.

18. On the Lewmar winches on my Bavaria 37, I did not have to take the base off to disassembly all the parts. I used thin oil on the paws, and a thin coat of marine grease on the rest. I would have considered using butyl instead of silicone sealant.
    You can still buy VHF with numerical buttons, but they are not cheap. I have a rotary dial for selecting channel on mine, which is slightly better than up/down buttons.
    If you buy a new, I would highly recommend to buy one with a Remote Access Mic for the cockpit, like the GX2400E + RAM4.
