I bought a Ridge Ryder 12000lb winch for just under $500 new.
Since I have a bit of spare time I decided to drop the 9500lb winch off and replace it with the new one.
The old winch had/has a wire rope. The wire rope is finally stuffed, few little ripples and at least one broken wire that is visible.
Since lack of grease in new winches tends to a common comment I decided to check it out.
As far as grease goes the only one I can easily get locally is some LubriMatic Marine Grease. They say it's suitable for winches.
Any comments on this product?
The new winch install is straight forward as it can use the same controller and cabling. Just have to turn the gearbox through about 90 degs and flip it so the motor is on the passenger side.
