yeah, that grease will work just fine

yeah, lots of gloves and paper towels.

i cut up a big cardboard box to law on the table and use as an easy-cleanup working area.

i didn't use any solvents. just cleaned them the best i could with the paper towels. if you are looking for something to soak them in though without making another trip out, gasoline will work. you don't need it though.

also, there are very fragile paper gaskets between the parts of the gear housing that you will be pulling apart. they will probably tear, but you can reuse them without issue. however, i opted to remove the paper gaskets completely, and used a bead of silicone around the edges to reseal it. if you go this route, just put a bead around the outside, bolt it together, and let it cure. after it's cured. take a razor blade around the edge to cut off the excess that got squeezed out. it's a lot less messy than trying to whipe it up when it's still wet.

I think there's one or two thin plastic washers that you'll need to keep tract of too.

Pretty sure that's where they were. I sealed up the relay box and coated everything electrical with dialectic grease too. With all the water down here in Florida I figured better safe than sorry.

Great winch for the money.

oh, the solenoid box. sorry, i thought you were still referring to the winch itself.

i actually pulled out the o-ring in the solenoid, ran a nice thick bead of silicone in it's place after i dielectric greased the inside parts.

Yeah I saw those two washers in between the second and third planetary. What a chore that was but looks like it definitely be worth it.

Waterproofing the solenoid next, and looking for a place to mount it under the hood.

I had plans to kayak out to some small islands we have at a real wide point in the inter-coastal and camp there for a night or two, but the cold killed that excursion

Need to get you a good sleeping bag and/or some thermals. I was sweating the night we camped at Shoe Creek (10* - 15*) back in January.

sleeping wasn't really the issue, i have gear for sleeping in cold weather. we got down to -13 one of the nights at Rausch Creek.

The problem was that i was going to sit in the sand or stand in the water and drink beer while i fish all day. just have fresh fish, 3 meals a day, for a day or two. it just wouldn't have been fun with the cold and high winds we're having.
