Journey of Life thanks. Good luck!

That's really helpful! Thanks for making such a clear and informative video.

Thanks for this very helpful video. Our Barlow 23-26 is from 1980 and now works just like the new ones again.

Excellent and so very helpful, thanks a lot!

2 x Barlow 25 primaries here...just about to overhaul and get rechromed. Got 4 secondary Canon 20's to do as well. Thanks for the upload...they are pretty simple devices but always good to have something to familiarise yourself with before beginning the overhaul.

Thanks so much. The neglected winches I inherited required a lot more pushing and shoving, but your video was invaluable.

Nice walk through. Many thanks.

Thank you nice and clear and at a steady pace, has given me an insight on what's inside.

You're welcome. Hope it was helpful. A cold, snowy day project for me a few years ago. Hopefully, you're enjoying warmer weather.

Thank you

hi I just posted a link to your video from mine. its not really a how to but I returned a link to ya

Very useful video! I have 2 x 24 Barlow winches and was able to adapt sufficiently without ever having serviced one before and no parts left over :) p.s I oiled the pawls and greased the bearings only. Was I supposed to grease the cog wheels too?

A dab of grease would be fine on the cogs. Glad it was helpful.

I'm just working on a Barlow 24. I notice you didn't actually put any grease on the demo winch in your video. Also notice guys in other videos are really greasing the heck out of everything. So what's better in your opinion ? To grease, or not to grease ? That is the question.

I'm in freshwater, which means a lot less corrosion, but yes, I only lightly grease the winch. Too much grease only gets gummed up faster, in my opinion. Whatever the case, regular maintenance is a must.

Do you have a description of Maintenance of Barlow 3-way Winch ? Or is it quite similar to this 2-way winch ? I don't know the type actually but it is built approx. 1980 and installed on a Sweden Yacht Comfort 34.

I'd go with mineral spirits or kerosene if you want to dissolve the gunk.
