Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions. Each
a 1 gallon plastic ice cream bucket also works very well for winch
overhaul. Cut a smaller hole then an X in the bottom and push it over the
winch before you start. Another ice cream bucket is perfect for solvent to
clean the winch bearings, pauls etc so they can't get away in the process.
That's a great idea to use a shoebox.
Does anyone know what size of pawls a Lewmar 42 winch Takes? I believe
there are small and large available and can't seem to find which of these
are for the 42 model.
Cheers,
Marc.

Joe, I agree but I think that's close to what the early 35-1's were at
maximum rudder. Have you measured the travel on Coquina? Just eyeball the
end of the rudder shaft. You might be surprised.
I got Touche's steering system back together today.
Right now, with the new limit plates, Touche'

I don't share the list's disdain of flex tanks. Touche' has flex tanks for
both potable water and waste water. No issues at all.
In fact, the potable water tank is easy to clean each spring. Just empty
it, yank it out, put it on the dock, put some water in it and slosh it
around. Rinse and

Others already chimed in on how to do it. One advice – take a old shoebox, cut

Shawn,
While some sailors prefer to “luggage tag” a single sheet to the clew of their
jib thus saving the excess bulk of a pair of bowlines that may hang up on a
baby stay or other deck mounted obstructions, I’ve gone back to using two
separate jib sheets on the 135% jib of our Landfall 35.
My parents have/had a flexible tank in their powerboat, which failed,
making for an unpleasant job to replace. Not sure if it was more unpleasant
that a rigid tank would have been, but I suspect so. Based on that, I'd opt
for a rigid (plastic) tank I think. The 35-2 we are buying has a newer

Chuck,
You guys are dead on. Your concerns have already been incorporated into

there are enough undamaged teeth for proper operation.

Thanks, Rob.
That's exactly the info I needed. It also confirms what I'm seeing with
the reassembly. The cables coming out of the groove at the end of travel.
I will include this info in my documentation.
This has been a trial and error process at this point. I can move forward
now. Sucks
Dennis,
To echo Rob’s concerns regarding the creation of a robust rudder stop, if the
previous iteration utilized two bolts inserted in the steering chain, I would
take a thorough inspection of the pedestal sprocket. Steel bolts coming into
contact with bronze sprocket teeth under load or at
completing this project would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Most all quadrants are built for a total travel 72 degrees, 36 degrees each way
. . . (historical convention)
If you turn the rudder farther than that, the cables start coming out of the
groove that holds them on the quadrant.
The largest loads that the whole steering system experiences happens
"keep it out of the pauls" (not panels)... Darned spell check on my tablet...
I like the idea of a box cut out to set over the top of the winches, but have
to admit I've never gone to that extreme, and have not (as of yet!) lost a
spring or pawl. That said, I can easily see how it would happen.
The rudder will start causing drag at about 5 degrees, 30 - 35 degrees is
usually more than enough.

Harken pawl oil and Harken winch grease. Clean the parts with a soft brush
like a tooth brush and mineral spirits. Apply grease lightly more is not
better. It’s not a hard job. I believe the cncphotoalbum site has some

For grease, Practical Sailor highly recommends any of the winch maker's greases
or Green Grease which is available at auto parts stores. I went with the Green
Grease. Remember, small amounts of grease, not big globs, and keep it out of
the panels, which should be lubed using a light machine
I should expand a bit on the l-36.com page, reference tab, scroll down to
