We had the same problem with the port cabin top winch on our J/42 hull #3. Instead of remounting the winch, we just took a Dremel tool and ground out a small...

Bernie Thank you for the input. I remember trying to service my winches in Finland last summer and was unable to remove the gears. It was pretty obvious that...
