Winch grease for the drum/rollers and for the brass gears only.
Don’t use too much it will slow things down and you will lose advantage.
Always use a thin machine oil or similar for the pawls otherwise
they will stick.

I purchased Harken winch grease last week to service my four
barient winches.
Upon opening the tube I read the attatched tag taht said to use on
metal parts and do not use on plastic rollers or on pawls.
Of course when I took the drum off the winch most of the moving
parts and all the rollers looked to be som sort of plastic material
It has been suggested I can us McLube from Harken. Any
comments and what do others use? ..
