I went to the boat and installed the ST40 Lewmar winched today. The proper orientation to the load is 90 degrees to the support pin of the big gear. Lewmar instructions leave a lot to be desired.

I’ll crank the winch with the drum off to see what happens.

The important thing is that the drum(load) is supported by one of the pins that the gears turn on. If the line puts load on the drum "off" the pin, there could be a tendency for the drum to cock slightly and the gears would not mesh true. As long as one pin is supporting the line as it touches the drum, everything will remain true and all the load will pass though the drum to pin to bearings to central boss. Your right, the instructions are not clear. sam :-) C&C 26 Liquorice Ghost Lake Alberta From: John Russo Sent: Saturday, April 12, 2014 7:37 PM To: CnC-List@cnc-list.com Reply To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List Lewmar EVO ST 40 winch mounting orientation Help requested I am mounting my new Lewmar EVO ST 40 winches tomorrow and the mounting diagram in the application brochure shows the output gear orientation to be 90 degrees to the load as the correct orientation. This makes sense but my winches are on the boat and I seem to remember that there are two gears 180 degrees apart engaging the drum. One gear is large and the other smaller and the mounting diagram shows only one gear of undetermined size. The parts diagram does not call either of these gears an output gear and both are part #19 and called ratchet gears. Does anyone know which gear is the output gear driving the drum? Thanks for your help in advance. John Arpeggio 1984 C&C32 Norwalk, CT
