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.

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.

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..

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.

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.

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

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.
