can anyone help re: taking my winch off the winch stand? Do i remove the clip on top first or remove the winch from the stand using the bolts that hold the winch to the stand?
much appreciate the advice!

Re: typhoon Lewmar Wich
At least that is how I did it when I removed the winches from my CD 25D and kept the winch stands.ty3 wrote:remove the winch from the stand using the bolts that hold the winch to the stand

Re: typhoon Lewmar Wich
I've never taken my winches off so I don't really know what I'm talking about 
BUT you might find that you can't remove the bolts from the winch stand without accessing the top ends of the bolts, and you can't access the tops without taking the winch apart.

Re: typhoon Lewmar Wich
Ben may well be correct. These days I have trouble remembering what I had for breakfast. 
Also, it may depend on the winch model, etc. I removed Lewmar No. 7 bronze wnches from S/V Bali Ha'i and replaced them with upgraded versions. I do not recall any disassembly of the Lewmar winch. I think I removed 5-6 bolts under the winch stand and lifted the winch off the stand. But, like I said that was several years ago and I am just trying to remember breakfast today - eggs or cereal
I wish everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving
Felice Ringraziamento

Re: typhoon Lewmar Wich
I have a 1975 Typhoon Weekender and I serviced my winches last summer 2019. The bolts that hold the winch to the stand have a phillips head to them. I had to take the drum off first so I could hold the bolt from turning. The whole deal is very easy so not to worry!

Re: typhoon Lewmar Wich
Yes remove the bolts at the bottom (where winch attaches to winch stand).
Real easy to do.
Google Lewmar 7 many pictures of what if looks like. Get lewmar winch kit with grease, clean, regrease, etc.
Easy.,,

Re: typhoon Lewmar Wich
Thanks all.
I took apart the winch after I removed the winch stand from my boat. Found pretty good instructions on servicing a #6 Lewmar single speed winch online. Couple of decent Youtube instructions which also helped. Took them apart, which had not been done in many years I'm guessing, lubricated the pawls, cleaned them up and now just need decent weather this Spring to try them out!

Re: typhoon Lewmar Wich
Small bit of advice re: servicing Lewmar winch. Guessing it had been many many years since my Ty winches had been lubricated. Had a difficult time removing the pawls due to the amount of crud that had accumulated. I decided to try and first soak them in mineral spirits to loosen the crud. Spirits did the work and made it much easier to pop the pawls out.
