    High mount = hard core = not me.

    Low mount for me even if that needed these days.

    What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??

    I agree, that all looks solid, good soaking wire brush, bit of emery, free everything up, light grease, repack gearbox, bet it works. I have rebuilt my brothers winch 4 times after he said it was dead, runs every time after its given some love.

    To make sure that there was no more water ingress, I used silicon to build a good seal. I then placed a layer of oiled cling film over the silicon and and put the end covers on loosely. When the silicon was set I peeled off the film and rebuilt the winch. It has been submerged a few times and has not let a drop of moisture in.

    Yeah gearbox is a mess but nothing wrong with it. Easily clean that out and re-grease.

    How would you tackle the motor? I've never fixed/rebuilt an electric motor.

    I think you will find the surface rust just comes off with CRC or degreaser, Wash it off with water, then dry it out - if you leave it in the sun for a day or see if your oven can sit around 40 degC put it in there for an hour to drive the moisture out, I use a hot air gun and heat the armature - the cntral spinning bit up until it is warm to touch, do the same on the housing or body but be careful you dont heat it so far that the lacquer starts to degrade. Free up the brushes and then let it sit under cover for a little while, reassenble, should be fine. Look p on the nett for the process to electrically check a 12V winch motor using jumper leads to prove it actually rotates.

    Id be thinking of used some air to pressurize the winch before and water crossings
    some use an air hor compressor and a needle valve to limit the amout of air you use.
    Youll use very little pressure for it maybe 5psi tops, worth a thought I recond.

    Yeah thats a good idea but a bit over technical for me.
