[C320-list] Lewmar Winches

Joe-
I had to replace those as well. I think you are right, it is the stripper
ring. I think they make it out of a different material now, that is why the
color is different. Make sure you get the correct size. I took mine off and
brought it into Torresen (local chandlery) so that we could make sure that
we got the right one. I don't think that they were very expensive.

 Hello all, I am having a problem with my Lewmar Winches. A piece under the
self tailer that is black plastic has come loose on both winches. It allows
the sheet to double up under the self tailer and I need to replace it. Does
anyone know what that part is called? I think it might be the Stripper Ring
but Lewmar's web site shows it as Grey and mine is black.

I'm going to try it this year.  Never did before as the installer/dealer was
adamant about not spraying anything on the track or slides.  At this point I
figure I don't have much to lose.

  I also went with the Strong Track system a couple of years ago and the
sail is no easier to raise now then it was before.  The sail falls a bit
faster but you still have to be directly into the wind for a quick fall.
The Milwaukee cordless right angle drill should do the job.  I read that you
can lift a person up the mast (according to weight) with the Milwaukee
drill.  I have used a Craftsman 19.2 volt to lift the main the past few
years with fair success but the batteries go bad fast.

    I went with the Strong Track system two years ago, on the advice of my 
    sailmaker who assured me that for the extra $1k my new sail would fly up
the 
    mast.  It's possible that the new sail is that much heavier than the
stock 
    Catalina, or I have become that much weaker as the years have rolled on,
but 
    I have a hard time with the last 2-3 feet of sail hoist.  This year if
it 
    ever stops raining and gets above 45F, I'm going to try the Milwaukee 
    cordless right angle drill to raise the sail and haul in the jib.
