Re: How do I service old Lewmar 44ST winches with six allen screws on the top?

Lewmar sent instructions this morning. If anyone else is struggling with this puzzle, you tap the tailing arm with a rubber mallet counter-clockwise to loosen the inside nut. Then you remove the six...

Re: Best Marina in the Clear Lake Area ?

I think your transmission is overheating and siezing up the motor. It should have a separate filler and dipstick for transmission fluid.
