Rebuilding alvey boat winch
Submitted by black gen on Thu, 2018-11-22 18:24
Looking at buying a spigot mount alvey winch for a young fella to fish from the boat
reel doesn’t look in the best nick but is a good price
I wouldn’t have thought there was much to rebuild them if need be
is this the case? Has anyone done this and where is the best place to source parts?
thanks

Alvey easy to maintain
any parts you may need are available directly from Alvey or your local tackle shop. The Alvey family are wonderful to deal with. The Alvey web site has schematics for you to reference and gather part numbers from.
good luck, I’m sure the rebuild will go another generation of fishing.
Alvey is the reel which fills the creal

We have 4 various size ones
We have 4 various size ones for our boat. They are almost indestructible . Once you got it going just a little bit of greese every now and then wont hurt. Just make sure you give them a wash down each time.
