Hi to all , Installed at the moment on a boat but is not meeting the desired capacity . It can be sold as a complete set for boat installation with the hoses, pump and heat exchanger ( is a jet ski Intercooler !) comes with an 240VAC adapter too.
Ended up cleaning the gear stack without taking it out as well. Result is not perfect, but good enough.
Base plate is very tightly attached to deck and I could not even fit my sharpest putty knife in between. New attempt in next spring maintenance with new tools (fishing line maybe?) and new energy

Solved - Hi all, final update on the electrical issue I was having. Appeared to be a defective control board. Salt humid air found its way on the board around the fuses of the Spare relays. Very likely shortcircuited the board and thus complete board did not correspond with the button panel.
In case this happens to anyone with no new control board with relays at hand/ available on order, you can also make an emergency repair. Remove the relays and on the switching part (connections 30 and 87), fit an on/ off switch similar to traditional panels. Make sure they have sufficient amps, usual switchboard switches will work.
Regarding unscrewing the base plate. I think the winch had never been cleaned in 20 years so I just tried once with regular tools and, as they didn't want to come out, I went for Plan B, but now they sound much better than before.
I though this approach as well but injecting diesel/white spirit inside gear stack but not being able to dry it out did not feel like good idea. If some of diesel/spirit stays inside the stack then oil won't stick and lubricate as is should.
Was your winch also glued to deck adhesive sealant or was in-place maintenance chosen just to avoid trouble of screwing out base plate?
My engine loses engine revs slowly after startup. So if I put in gear and apply throttle the revs will drop slowly down to a steady 1250 and hold there.
Have bled engine at the fuel pump etc etc. But on cracking the fuel supply pipes one by one I find the middle cylinder does not drop any revs like the others even though fuel is spraying out!
So I thought I would check the compression first before thinking about the injector.
So where do I get the kit for this, and also the correct method to carry out the test. Thanks in advance for any info Geoff
