[C320-list] Servicing Winches

[Jerry Clayton]

Thanks Allan, I've also been told it's a good idea to cut a hole in the 
bottom of a box so that it will fit over the winch, that way if any parts or 
springs come loose hopefully the will stay in the box instead of going over 
the side and into the water.
