[Alberg30] Merriman winch disassembly

[Scott Wallace]

Kathy,

I agree with your approach; don't beat on anything or push too hard, until you know for sure!  Your winches sound like they have character and I wouldn't want to see them damaged, either!   I will email some of my sailing mentors for you today to see if they have any experience with Merriman winches; please excuse any mispellings, I don't have my glasses onn

THanks

I tried tapping, twisting and prying but am a little bit hesitant to start wacking too hard,  If you do figure out out to pop these things open please let me know...I will keep trying and am going to fax a picture to Rig_Rite and see if they can offer a solution. They came off of an old 1946 Owens Cutter that was destroyed in a fire.  I have been able to buff them up nice (with lots and lots of buffing actually), but obviously don't want one or both to bust once I mount them.  And, since I need to take them apart to mount them anyway.... Thanks for the help.
