[quote=Edchris177][quote=MN3]winches and jack will rust until they crumble
it takes a few years but it is expected (in this part of the world)
they will all rust - esp the bolt
use lanicote or tefgel on the bolts and you can even add it to the mast yoke where there will be contact
it will help a lot
if you really want to be proactive go to ACE and buy some SS bolts and nuts - that will prevent a large amount of the problem[/quote]

Those winches, on sale are what, $15? That’s what I paid for the one we use in the N5.0
Throw it in the recycle scrap metal bin after 2 years & buy another.
SS bolts are great, I’ve got a 5 gal bucket full of various sizes, but if you have to buy 3/8” x 3”, they get expensive. Buy galvanized, grease them, then throw them away every couple years, when you replace the winch.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Edchris177 on Jun 21, 2021 - 09:46 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
