I am trying to service the winches on our Super Seal. They are Lewmar 30 winches, self taiing, black lacquered aluminium, there doesn't seem to be any circlip or retaining device.

There wasn't a manual with the boat documents.

Any advice on how to remove the top ?

Many Thanks

You will get access to a manual in PDF that covers the maintenance of all Lewmar winches includint the 30.

Come back to me if you have problems and I'll e-mail you a copy.

Dear Don

Many thanks for your reply. I also posted on the Super Seal section and thanks to Paul Lovejoy's reply I was able to start the process. However could I ask you to email me a copy of the manual as I seem to be having trouble accessing the Lewmar website from here.

Also I have been trying to get information about the centre of gravity for a fixed keel Super Seal.

I had a launching trailer made up and it needs to be altered (in its present form the C of G falls behind the rear axle and gives the wrong meaning to launching). Could you suggest a possible source of information?

Again many thanks for your help and your web mastery
