I have no less than 8 of these beautiful looking winches on my boat, 4 of which are electrically operated.

Unfortunately one of the electric ones has developed a problem in the gearbox/motor area and needs stripping and servicing. (It still looks good though!)

Andersen do have a fixed price charge for this, but it is an eye-watering £1800+ plus shipping from the Caribbean and back.

Has anyone out there ever taken one of these gearbox/motor units apart? If so, would they be prepared to share their experience with me?

Just to clarify, the winch itself is fine and can be used manually (now I have removed the drive pinion from the stiff gearbox).

The gearbox has 750403 stamped into it's casting and looks like it should come apart with a suitably made giant "C" spanner.

Anyone?

All help is appreciated!

John
