Cabin Top Winch Re-Chroming

Lewmar #8 winch
After 30 years it was showing signs of age. I was repainting the deck and hull so I though it was time to have it re-chromed. Total cost was $60. I cleaned it up, re-lubed the gears and reassembled.

One Note here: When the winch was re-chromed the process reduced the size of the "pawl and pawl spring" slots in the top. I had to re-drill that area.

The final product came out very nice
