[Public-List] Barlow winch disassembly

[Lanny Helms]

Greg,

When you depress the button in the socket, you then can pull up the barrel of the winch. The base is some type of plastic and it deforms over time. I had the same winch on hull #562 and I just replaced it. You may have to try prying up the barrel when you remove it.

The problem is I can't figure out how to get it apart. All my other winches are Lewmars, easily taken apart. There are no visible screws, nor circlips, nor split rings on the Barlow. At the bottom of the hole where the winch handle goes there's a plate about the size of a nickel that seems to be sprung. It moves down about a half inch when pressed, but nothing seems to happen otherwise, nor are there any fasteners exposed when it is depressed.
